The Choice
Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some great decision, offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever, ’twixt that darkness and that light.
Then to side with truth is noble, when we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and ’tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses while the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.
By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, Thy bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Cavalries ever with the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties, ancient values test our youth;
They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth.
Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong;
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own.
~ James Russell Lowell, 1845

Recognition of a Conspiracy
When we see a lot of framed timbers, different portions of which we know have been
gotten out of different times and places, and by different workmen...and when we see
those timbers joined together, and see they exactly make the frame of a house or a mill...in
such a case we find it impossible NOT to believe that...all understood one another from
the beginning, and all worked upon a common plan, drawn up before the first blow was
struck.
~ President Abraham Lincoln1
Etymology of “Conspiracy”
c.1300, from Old French conspirer, from Latin conspirare "to agree, unite, plot," lit. "to
breathe together," from com- "together" + spirare "to breathe"2

Chapter 1: The Big Lie
“All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie
there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are
always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than
consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more
readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small
lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would
never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that
others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts
which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and
waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the
grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a
fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the
art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest
purposes.” ~ Adolf Hitler, 1925 Mein Kampf
"Sometimes the truth is so precious it must be accompanied by a bodyguard of lies." ~
Donald Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, 25 Sept. 2001 Pentagon Briefing
th
On that horrifying and tragic Tuesday morning of September 11 , we all witnessed the
most worse and despicable attack on American soil and we saw it transpire live on the
television. All across the country, time came to an abrupt standstill. The emotions
experienced by Americans ranged from the initial morbid “rubber-necking” curiosity and
shock of seeing the aftermath of first tower struck, the North Tower, in flames and
billowing thick dark black smoke into the beautiful clear blue sky from an apparent
accidental
impact,
to
the
horrors
of
witnessing
dozens
of
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 9
terrified and doomed people leaping to their sudden and violent deaths, to the millions
of hands cupped to their mouth’s and the simultaneous nation-wide out crying of
expletives or the “Oh My God No! No! No! No! No!” as we all tried unsuccessfully to
mentally will away and divert the second oncoming aircraft shown live on nation-wide
TV.
The emotions, the fear, and the rivers of flowing tears shifted into the high gear of a
purely instinctive fear-based and primal survival mechanism as we witnessed the second
airliner ominously approach at high speed and then bank into the South Tower and
erupt into a massive fireball. We instantaneously became aware that this country was
under an attack of profound magnitude and we experienced the growing and persistent
fear of not knowing what was yet to come. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, then
meeting with U.S. Rep. Christopher Cox (R-CA) at the Pentagon for missile defense
discussions, predicted with amazing accuracy that the attacks were just the beginning
and saying: “Let me tell ya, I’ve been around the block a few times. There would be
another event.”3
The impacts of the airliners into the World Trade Center Twin Towers were just the
beginning in that insufferably long day of horrors. We had to witness the unprecedented
total collapse of two of the world’s premiere and once the world record tallest
skyscrapers, and a third 47-story building by day’s end, not knowing how many
thousands of people, and their selfless heroic police and fire rescuers, had perished.
Within minutes of Rumsfeld’s amazing display of his powers of prophecy, we learned
that the Pentagon, the largest symbol of U.S. military power, was attacked and stricken
by Flight 77, and also that a passenger jet had crashed into a field in western
Pennsylvania, with all lives lost. Surely, if they could attack the heavily defended
Pentagon
with
impunity,
nothing
was
safe.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 10
From the initial moments of the attack, the President sat doe-eyed, dumbfounded with a
children’s book in his lap while in a well publicized photo-op at an elementary school in
Florida while the largest singular attack upon American soil transpired. While he smiled
at the children, and calmly turned the pages of My Pet Goat, the WTC buildings were set
afire, and dozens of trapped people were in a panic jumping to the pavement 1000 feet
below. The vaunted Secret Service, extensively trained to react with split-second reflexes
to an attack, whether real or perceived, on the President (remember the Reagan
assassination attempt in 1981) failed to react to the attacks and stayed aloof as if they
were not out of the ordinary, in contravention of their standard operating procedures.
They froze. Throughout the day and evening, 24-hour cable and broadcast news
continuously replayed the graphic images of the obscene attacks ad infinitum, drilling
the images into our conscious and sub-consciousness mind, thereby repeating the terror
and conditioning the public to easily accept the placement of blame on the soon-to-beunveiled boogey-man. Richard Clarke and CIA Director George Tenet come out almost
immediately and attribute the blame to the former tool of the CIA network in the
Russian-Afghanistan conflict, Al Qaeda and especially to the new arch-villain and terror
boogey-man, Osama bin Laden. 9/11 was a made-for-TV spectacle of mass murder and
wanton gluttonous destruction, and the media further inflamed the anger and hysteria of
the nation with the overkill barrage of graphic images of the collisions and the collapses,
with constant commentary of the massive numbers of deaths and injured and the
psychological effects of the traumatizing on the children.
The cumulative effect was as if a psychological eight-pound sledgehammer were swung
to the gut. The President, after the horror had fully set into the American consciousness,
(and his conspicuously, or suspiciously, late getaway after delaying a proper response
while
continuing
on
with
a
pre-scheduled
school
book
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 11
reading photo-op), made his late press announcement with the confused, shell-shocked,
and terrified masses of America fully prepared and conditioned to expect the blame to be
laid at the feet of shadowy Muslim terrorists due to the media’s helpful reminders of
previous terrorist attacks upon American interests with the 1983 Marine barracks
bombing in Beirut, the 1985 hijackings of TWA-847 airline and the Achille Lauro cruise
ship, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing by Muslim radicals, the 1998 African
Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, the 1995 Saudi Arabian Khobar Towers
bombing, and the 2000 USS Cole attack, delivered the prepared script to blame for the
attacks on Osama bin Laden and the Al Qaeda terror network. To the American people,
President Bush placed the blame on bin Laden almost as if a hypnotist plants a posthypnotic suggestion to a prepared audience so that whenever he goes back into the bag
of tricks in his speeches and pulls out the reliable 9/11 card, the trigger words of 9/11
automatically take the listener either consciously or sub-consciously back to the horrible
events of the day.
The media obligingly had the prepared the necessary supporting historical photo and
video documentation and the parade of retired generals and other military, security, and
terrorism “experts” to discuss the attacks and they too confirmed the methodology and
motivation of terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda. Within hours of the attacks, the
FBI, who heretofore had been unable to track or intercept the attacks, was conveniently
trotting out a list, including photographs, of 19 hijackers. The convergence of all these
elements with the ingrained trust in the government, whether real or misplaced, created
a powerful reality consensus, a dogma to be blindly accepted upon official proclamation
by the “authorities.”
It was a grand exercise by the oligopoly media in manipulating the emotions of the
shocked American consciousness. Prior to 9/11, terrorism in America was something
that, excepting some homegrown varieties such as Timothy McVeigh and the reclusive
Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, happened “over there.” In the interconnected technological
realization
of
the
“global
village”
envisioned
by
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 12
Marshall McLuhan, the media event of 9/11 played out before the cameras, and by
extension, the eyes of the world. “The media became the message.”
The impact of the event justifiably compares to the psyops effect of the widespread fear,
panic, and trauma that was created (and intended) by the Mercury Theater production of
the 1938 Halloween evening radio simulation-broadcast of H.G. Wells’ War of the
Worlds. As the unaware people intently listened to the gradually unfolding story and
realistically depicted as a radio news broadcast, they believed that Martians actually
landed and were attacking earth, just as people on 9/11 instantly accepted what they saw
and heard on TV, the new means of population indoctrination. The world had just
changed right before our eyes in the most grotesque and abominable manner, the proper
emotions are still indescribable, but no one who witnessed the events on 9/11 will forget
them. The collective conscience of the American people was filled a righteous anger,
rage, and yes, even murderous revenge. America developed a war psychosis and through
it we would have our revenge. It was quite properly described by both President George
W. Bush and Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as the new Pearl Harbor of
the 21st Century.4
How many times have we watched a big name magician and they amazed us with their
fantastic illusions and slight of hand tricks? Who can remember when renowned
magician and illusionist David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear before a
live audience during a broadcast special? How many times have we been amazed by the
hyper-realism of Hollywood special effects on the movie screen, particularly scenes of
massive destruction, and then even cheered at them? In a magic show, it’s all
accomplished with a professional execution of sleight-of-hand, secret knowledge of
lighting and visual angles, optic trickery, and
clever misdirection; in Hollywood movie special effects it is enabled by the magic of
suspension of disbelief, high-powered and ultra-realistic computer graphics, emotionstirring background music, and masterful acting; in the realms of politics and warfare,
it’s
the
blitzkrieg
of
propaganda
“shock

misinformation, carefully crafted strategic media campaigns, sloganeering, jingoism,
and talking points, Swift-boat style foaming-at-the-mouth smearing and professional
mouthpiece character assassins and “expert” think-tank hit teams, “sexed up”
intelligence dossiers, and sophisticated psyops and propaganda machines:
…you don't have anything to worry about -- third time I've said that. I'll probably say it
three more times. See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over
and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of…catapult the propaganda. ~ President
George W. Bush5
The following information presented in this book, when viewed with an open and a mind
detached from the emotions of the attacks, will attempt to shake your worldview to the
core with its major and staggering implications. You are likely to get very angry. That is
good and it is very necessary. This republic fought and broke free from the tyranny of the
colonial rule of Britain on the basis of anger and resentment, and it can be recovered by
it as well.
Until a few months ago, I was, like probably many of you, oblivious to what was going on
around me other than what was directly in front of me and only concerned about affairs
five minutes into the future. I encourage you to research further, fact-check, and check
deeper into what I have put together from a variety of websites and resources. Don’t take
my word or research for it, check it out for yourself. As President Ronald Reagan once
remarked when dealing with the Soviet Union, “trust, but verify.” If you apply the
highest levels of doubt and scrutiny to what I have written in the following pages, I
would genuinely hope and ask that you equally apply the same level of distrust and
doubt about what the government claims in regards to 9/11. This information is very
challenging, critically urgent material, and it is nothing less than earth-shattering.
Everything I discuss in this paper is documented from mainstream media and accredited
news organizations. Any unfamiliar term can be entered into a Google6 search string for
deeper
study.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 14
The arguments and supporting evidence I present are put forward in the spirit of an
honest search for the truth, and not to insult or disparage the lives of those lost –
murdered, from the attacks - or to offend their survivors. If the tone in this paper offends
some, I sincerely apologize in advance. It is most definitely not intended to be
condescending or derisive, I don’t have all the answers, but I do know something is
profoundly amiss. Some may construe my comments as blunt, direct, harsh, and
alarmist. My response is that we are all adults, and the time for tip-toeing around and
sugar-coating the truth is long past us. If a literary slap across the face is needed to wake
people out of the haze, then let it be done in the spirit of the search for truth.
In the past, the guard on the watch-tower, a very responsible duty, was expected to be
loud so that the alarm could be heard. The duty of the tower guard was so sacred and
pivotally important that the U.S. Marine Corps 11 General Orders is dominated with
instructions for sentries.7 This book is supported with over forty pages of evidentiary
citations from a wide range of sources, primarily from mainstream media, but also from
alternative media, think-tank policy papers, and official government documents. Until
almost a year ago, I was exactly where you are now, beguiled, uninformed, and misled.
With such little time as I have in this presentation, I am trying to reach out and grab you
by the collar and point you to the truth as I, and many others have discovered. A rapid
learning curve is required and attempted here to overcome the nearly four years of
government misinformation regarding 9/11 and the natural resistance to world changing
ideas. What once was intended to be a small handout pamphlet has grown to encompass
this book. There is that much to tell, and more.
The Thesis: The Case for U.S. Government Orchestration of 9-11
A prima facie case exists with credible witnesses, accidental confessions, forensic
analysis, and a compelling motive that the deliberate and planned mass-murder on 9/11
of over 3000 innocent U.S. citizens and foreigners on United Airlines Flights 175 and 93,
American Airlines Flights 77 and 11, the World Trade Center (WTC) 1 & 2 building
strikes
and
collapses,
and
upon
the
Pentagon,
was
planned
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 15
and executed by an internal cancer, a festering and rotting gangrene, a collection of
ruthless, mafia-like criminal elements within the U.S. government and within the
military. Fundamentalist Arab hijackers likely had no operational role in the attacks
other than as patsies, dupes, or useful idiots for the needed back-story.
The tally of the murdered dead does not include the 2200 (and counting) estimated U.S.
troop deaths,8 19,000+ casualties, and the combined estimate of 2-3 million Iraqi and
Afghani deaths from the wars that resulted from the 9/11 attacks, as well as the passing
of draconian laws such as the Patriot Act,9 the Real ID Act, and several other laws
designed to curtail individual liberties and freedoms. It is an undeniable fact that every
law, every major government and intelligence realignment, and the massive growth of
intrusive government passed since 9/11, the illegal resource wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq, have had as their fundamental justification and under-pinning, the government
deception of 9/11.10 The rally cry, the emotional trigger word for the mind controlled
masses, the official mantra of the government has been the cult-like repetition of 9/11 as
if this gives carte blanche for all the injustices of war crimes, torture, the rape of
resources, perpetrated by the United States upon Iraq, Afghanistan, and even upon
ourselves in the form of the rolling out of the creeping police state and the usurpation of
the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
How many times have you heard or read of some Brinks or Loomis armored truck being
robbed in a daring heist? Who are the usual first immediate suspects that police
interrogate and polygraph? Consider common computer hacking crimes, highway cargo
shipping, shipyard dock thefts, or railroad freight theft, how are these types of crimes
predominately orchestrated and who is usually involved? When a string of arsons are
committed, who is often, to the public’s dismay, discovered to be the culprit? In the
astonishing twist, a trusted firefighter occasionally is involved.11 In many instances,
criminals will go into law enforcement careers to be able to do their dirty deeds with the
perfect cover, and the color, of the law. The criminals get closer to their victims and hide
behind
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 16
their authority and the natural trust of the public, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
What is the usual modus operandi on the crime? Now massively scale the severity of the
crime many magnitudes upwards to the realm of professional white-collar crime,
embezzlement and money laundering, insider-trading, creative “pump-and-dump” stock
investment schemes, for example: the $150 billion Savings and Loan scandals in the
1980’s, the $83 billion fraud and bankruptcy of Enron, the Harkin Energy debt-swap
Scandal, the 2003 Fannie Mae under-reporting accounting scandal; the Tyco
International theft of $600 million, the $3 billion missing and $12 billion in inflated
assets from WorldCom (MCI), criminal scandal ad infinitum.12 Nine times out of ten, it’s
an inside job.
The U.S. legal system has a seemingly endless multitude of federal and state laws on the
books in such areas as: anti-trust and monopolies, racketeering, price-fixing, predatory
behavior, and insider trading,13 to even such relatively minor laws such as exploitation of
the elderly and those of diminished mental capacity. The very language of criminal
indictments and the basic presumptive nature of these laws and their justification for the
punishment of these crimes is that by definition, conspirators and conspiracies exist.
Even if the crime is not actually committed, individuals or groups of people can be
charged for the mere planning of it, i.e. the conspiracy to commit [fill in the blank]
charge.
Throughout recorded history, and even in myths and legends, conspiracies of various
degrees of magnitude and complexity have existed to subvert, exploit, or to disadvantage
society or individuals in one form or fashion. Are we honestly to believe that the
conference rooms of business or in the dark back alleys of the criminal underworld are
the only realms where conspiratorial planning can occur? Of course not, to attempt to
argue otherwise is pure delusion and denial. The realm of politics and military planning
are not excluded from the scandal of betrayal, double-cross, intrigue, and the “inside
job.” It is fundamental to their existence. The classic American imagery of corrupt
political
machines,
lists
of
the
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 17
dead casting votes,14 election tampering,15 racially motivated voting district
gerrymandering, misplaced boxes of ballots, smoke-filled backrooms and arm-twisting
deals to subvert the political process, trading votes, bribery and other political
subterfuge are well established in political history for a genuine reason.16 You literally
cannot open a large circulation newspaper without reading allegations of some scandal
of political conspiracy, indictments, or convictions. The only limiting factor to the scale
of the conspiracy is the size of one’s ambition, and war-chest.
Using deception and misdirection is central to military doctrines. Military strategist and
general, Karl von Clausewitz states the axiom: “War is the continuation of politics by
other means.” Common to all modern military operations is the principle of deception,
counter-intelligence, feints, and disinformation. A magnificent example of military
deception was Operation Fortitude and specifically Operation Quicksilver by General
George S. Patton leading the largely fictional First United States Army Group in World
War Two prior to the Normandy invasion, complete with inflatable tanks and artillery
pieces. Sun Tsu, an influential ancient Chinese military strategist writes also in his
famous treatise The Art of War: “All warfare is based on deception…O divine art of
subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible, and
hence we can hold the enemy’s fate in our hands.” False flag17 operations are actively
going on even in Iraq with the recent disclosure of British SAS troops caught posing as
insurgents with disguises and terrorist equipment, weapons, and bombs attempting to
sow seeds of unrest and violence with terror attacks on local populations and legitimate
Iraqi police.18 This is clear and convincing evidence of governments acting to create
crisis situations to perpetuate the justification for their continued presence.
Governments such as the United Kingdom and the United States are using, and have
used, elite special forces, or specialized private mercenary contractors, to create order
out
of
chaos.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 18
Even more surprising is the failure of the mainstream press and electronic media to
expose the cover, or to intentionally ignore, these obvious and intentional government
efforts to sabotage of their own stated intentions of providing security and stability in
Iraq. The reporters officially sanctioned in Iraq are called “embedded journalists,”
perhaps they are named that for a subtle reason. In the world of political “dirty tricks,”
politicians and others with any meaningful power or influence are often compromised
and pocketed for potential future use by the controlling interests by being filmed in bed
by some agency with a male or female prostitute, someone other than their spouses –
caught in flagrante delicto, framed in some other deviant sexual predilection, bribed,
caught in crime, or some of the other known methods of compromising an individual. It
seems apparent that independent journalists, unembedded, are often the targets of U.S.
tank rounds in their hotels, especially after giving unfavorable reports.19 That is a very
effective way of gaining, if not favorable coverage, then silence – threaten them with
being targeted, accidentally of course. The message is clear, play along to get along, or
we’ll exclude you from news coverage or at worse, we’ll shoot at you, censorship through
assassination.
Cui bono is a Latin adage coined by the Roman statesman, dramatist, and philosopher
Seneca and is used in basic criminal investigation. It means that one should begin the
search for the culprit from among those that have the most to gain from a crime. Who
benefited after 9/11? Who gets more funding? Who gets more layers of control over our
lives? Did the Arab countries such as Afghanistan or Iraq benefit? Did Saddam Hussein
benefit? Did Al Qaeda benefit? When the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia were bombed
in 1996 and blamed on Hezbollah and also possibly on Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden
in the 2004 9/11 Commission Report, who got the reconstruction contract? Bin Laden
Construction did.
Did the Bush/Saudi family connection with Bin Laden Construction and the Carlyle
Group benefit from U.S. rebuilding contracts? Did any of those entities
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 19
make billions in no-bid contracts, billions in contracts for the new Trans-Afghanistan
Pipeline in Afghanistan, billions for un-metered oil sales, billions for reconstruction
contracts in Iraq, billions in arms and weapons sales and R&D, the replanting of poppy
fields in Northern Afghanistan and resulting increase in heroin production and money
laundering, massive military base building contracts, billions received (and also saved
from actual standard demolition costs) in the massive insurance payoffs from the World
Trade Center complex?
In the Neocon formula espoused by Univ. of Chicago Professor Leo Strauss, if the ends
justify the means, then to reap trillions of expenditures, all it cost was a few thousand
lives on 9/11 and few of our cherished liberties supposedly guaranteed as inalienable in
the Constitution. Deception of the masses by the enlightened ruling elite is justified. But
it’s just business. On a profit and loss sheet, it was masterful stroke of diabolical business
acumen. For an estimated couple of hundred thousand dollars in operational expenses,
the World Trade Center was demolished in little over an hour at a fraction of the time
and expense it was estimated to cost in the future to dismantle it using traditional – and
legal - building and demolition methods. In fact, the operational expenses of the attacks
were very probably recovered from manipulation of the stock market through specifically
targeted put option trading and speculation. On just a purely operational measure of
success, the plan to bring down the WTC and plunge the nation into a course of
aggressive militarism while simultaneously ushering in the Patriot Act was diabolically
brilliant. An operation of this complexity hardly rises to the previous levels of work of Al
Qaeda and by Osama bin Laden sequestered in a remote cave in Afghanistan.
After reading this presentation, you may ultimately come to the conclusion(s) that I
painfully have. Do not be afraid. Do not turn away. Do not be disillusioned. You must
remove the blinders that were forced upon you to keep you in the darkness and join the

impeachment for the current occupant of the office of the Presidency and members of
his administration, and possibly several prior administrations, and the reestablishment
of Constitutional government. A massive scandal, cover-up, and Constitutional crisis
exists in secret that dwarfs the shame of Nixon and Watergate, the Teapot Dome, IranContra, and several other scandals combined. And it is probably only going to get worse
before it gets better, as it is always darkest just before the dawn. We have been told the
terrorists attacked the U.S. because they hate our freedoms. President Bush stated in his
address before the Joint Session of Congress House and the American people:
Americans are asking, why do they hate us? They hate what we see right here in this
chamber -- a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They
hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote
and assemble and disagree with each other.21
But why are we told in complete Doublespeak contradiction that we must give up out
liberties, our inalienable rights, here in order to be safe? Why has every one of the
freedoms President Bush outlined been systematically eroded or set aside? More
importantly,
why
have
we
allowed
it?

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and
tyrants. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day, but a series of
oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of
ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery ~
Thomas Jefferson
Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous
servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington
When I tell any truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for
the sake of defending those that do. ~ William Blake
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry
off as if nothing ever happened. ~ Winston Churchill
I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want
you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I
don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the
crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. So I want you to get up
now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to
the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell [shouting] 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL,
AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up,
go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and
I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get
mad! You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then
we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But
first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:

False Flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations,
which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The other entity usually gets
blamed for the operation in the press and media and this thus serves as legal justification for some police or
military action that the conducting government wanted to perform. The Boston Tea Party was a false flag
operation when Bostonian’s dressed up as raiding Indians and dumped seized English taxed tea into the
harbor from cargo ships. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag>

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 24
The Method to Lead the People to War
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who
determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's
a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or
no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All
you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
~ Hermann Göring, Nuremberg Trials 1946
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 25
Chapter 2: Lessons of History and Abuses of Trust
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that
way ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
You might be saying to yourself that the benevolent U.S. government would never do
anything so horrible as to conspire and execute staged attacks upon its own citizens. You
are probably thinking this is all ridiculous, the paranoid delusions of some moonbat
conspiracy theorist. Such understandably incendiary discussions are usually sidestepped
or ridiculed by shilled government media mouthpieces with comments such as: “that is
beyond the pale,” “revisionist,” or even countered directly, and with the air of national
authority. As if almost anticipating the onslaught of doubts and challenges to the ‘official
version’ of 9/11, with an attempt to issue a preemptive deflection, President Bush
equated conspiracy theories as promoting terrorism when he spoke before the United
Nations on November 10th, 2001:
We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories
concerning the attacks of September the 11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame
away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty. To inflame ethnic hatred is to
advance the cause of terror.1
In the time-honored words of Shakespeare, “The [President] doth protest too much,
methinks.”2 The President has now equated people advancing “conspiracy theories” as
terrorists, enemies of the State, who advance the cause of terror. It was now socially and
politically taboo and risking appearing anti-American to suggest any other hypothesis
than the government’s “official theory.” What about the government’s own conspiracy
theory? Surely, nineteen fundamentalist Arab hijackers planning to strike the World
Trade Center with fuel laden airplanes is a conspiracy. What makes it not outrageous?
According to theologian and philosopher Dr. David Ray Griffin, an “outrageous theory”
is a theory that is refuted by all the facts of the theory, yet it is still believed. He said,
But what distinguishes an outrageous theory from a non-outrageous one? This is one of
the central questions in the philosophy of science. When confronted by
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 26
rival theories…scientists and philosophers of science ask which theory is better and why.
The mark of a good theory is that it can explain, in a coherent way, all or at least most of
the relevant facts and is not contradicted by any of them. A bad theory is one that is
contradicted by some of the relevant facts. An outrageous theory would be one that is
contradicted by virtually all the relevant facts.3
How can the President even make that claim only one month after the attacks and before
any investigation has been done by FEMA or even before the 9/11 Commission is even
empanelled? Is any other 9/11 theory besides the government theory of intelligence
failures and a fire based theory of collapse considered outrageous and to be immediately
discarded, even if it can be proven that alternative theories, even one’s as brazenly
controversial as controlled demolition, can be proven? When it comes to the explanation
of 9/11, consider the source. What happens if the government’s version of 9/11 is
disproved by science and testimony and the alternative theory is accepted by enough
people? Dr. James Fetzer, professor of philosophy at the Univ. of Minnesota-Duluth
says,
What matters now is that we are confronted by alternative accounts of what happened on
9/11, both of which qualify as "conspiracy theories". It is therefore no longer rational to
dismiss one of them as a "conspiracy theory" in favor of the other. The question becomes,
Which of two "conspiracy theories" is more defensible?4
Governments throughout history have routinely conspired and acted with malice
towards their own blinded and self-absorbed populations. Don’t be too surprised, or so
naïve. The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. Consider these following examples
from history that you likely haven’t been taught or exposed to of how elements within
government routinely conspire to deceive, manipulate, and even to act with sinister
intent to inflict violence, fear, repression, and war against its citizens. Governments –
and elites - throughout history have always used the threat of the stick, or the bullet, to
prod the unwilling population into an unpopular direction, or when the public lacked the
political will to pursue a course of action that their elite rulers chose for them, for better
or
for
ill.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 27
The Government Diagnosed as Psychopathic.
This list of examples from history of government’s callously abusing or deceiving its own
citizens is necessarily lengthy to illustrate the wide range of activities and devious
measures that the government, and in the focus of this discussion primarily, the U.S.
government, will attempt. If we were to examine the strange and repetitive behavior and
actions of the government – or more properly the people holding the reins, as we would
a single person, how would we objectively evaluate it? It would be necessary to establish
a pattern, a case history, in the government’s behavior to conclude a diagnosis. Most
psychiatrists and behavioral psychologists, in my layman’s estimation, would
characterize the following listed behavior as consistent with criminal psychopathy.5
In diagnosing patients with anti-social or psychopathic behavior, it is widely accepted
that if the examined person satisfies at least three of the conditions, the diagnosis for
psychopathic mental illness is accepted. From the criteria of the American Psychiatric
Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-IV
Personality Disorder Diagnosis,6 it can be reasonable determined from observation that
the government’s action and behavior satisfy at least five of the professionally accepted
measures for psychopathic behavior, including: 1.) Failure to conform to societal norms;
2) Deceitfulness and manipulativeness; 3) Reckless disregard for the safety of self or
others; 4) Irritability and aggressiveness; 5) Lack of remorse after having hurt,
mistreated, or stolen from another person. The government is therefore being operated
as if it were a psychopath; there can be no other reasonable conclusion.
As you proceed through the list of examples of the government’s malevolent and
indifferent actions please keep the DSM-IV criteria in mind and question if the conduct
of the government satisfies sufficiently the psychiatric standard. It would
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 28
be interesting to have a FBI professional profiler examine its behavior and deliver a
thorough criminal profile. As a comparison, who were some other infamous psychopaths
throughout history? Ted Bundy, the Zodiac Killer, John Wayne Gacy Jr., Jeffrey
Dahmer, Charles Manson, Jim Jones of the People’s Temple in Jonestown, David
Berkowitz aka the Son of Sam, Richard Ramirez aka the Night Stalker, Denis Rader aka
the BTK Killer, Albert DeSalvo aka the Boston Strangler. All of these psychopaths were
famous serial killers and fulfilled the DSM-IV criteria. Is there a common thread, a
pattern? By the end of this book the truth will be brutally obvious. Think about that
seriously for a moment, the codes to the nation’s nuclear arsenals are conceivably, and
most likely, in the hands of psychopaths.
What follows next are examples of a historical framework, a patient case file so to speak,
that has been far removed, some might say intentionally, from the accepted orthodoxy of
“official” Establishment history and the mainstream curricula in the state-run, Ritalin
dosing, spoon-fed indoctrination centers (schools), and from the public consciousness.
What passes for the official history has been reduced to one to two sentence white-wash
treatments approved by the state and/or state approved historical review boards and
publishers. There has been a concerted historical blackout in both American society and
in academia of potentially explosive embarrassing facts of exceptional levels of criminal
wrongdoing and collaboration by the United States government and by self-appointed
members of the elite banking and finance, and also from what was been termed by
President Eisenhower as the Military Industrial (Petrochemical-Pharmaceutical)
Complex. Without getting long into the debate as to how, or by whom, I will make the
preliminary claim that the American public has been intentionally “dumbed down” by an
utterly dysfunctional educational system7 and simultaneously to be continually
bombarded with irrelevant minutia so as to be completely distracted and unable discern
or reconcile the changes and trends in society as anything but unconnected random
events resulting either from accidents of history or by incompetence. That anything
could
be
considered
as
a
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 29
“conspiracy” is immediately marginalized, ignored, or ridiculed. It is almost as if when
someone mocks an argument with the defense “it’s a conspiracy theory” that it is code
for stop thinking. As Orwell taught, “Who controls the past, controls the future. Who
controls the present, controls the past.” It’s time to slip the chains of that control, and to
open your eyes to reality that has been concealed from you.
The Reichstag Fire and the Gleiwitz Incident. 1933 Reichstag Fire
This example from pre-WW2 Germany is included as the primary template for the baitand-switch false-flag operation and the classic application of the Hegelian dialectic,
thesis, antithesis, synthesis, or in modern language, Problem-Reaction-Solution.8 In
Germany, on February 27, 1933 the Weimar Republic’s legislative assembly building,
known as the Reichstag, was firebombed and set ablaze by Marinus van der Lubbe, a
mentally ill Dutch Communist agitator. Hitler’s Nazi party Sturmabteilung
“Brownshirt’s,” also known as the SA-Stormtrooper’s, may have also assisted in
accelerating the fire with gasoline to further engulf the building and complete the task.
Hitler and Hermann Göring soon arrived at the scene and upon seeing Lubbe, quickly
blamed the fire on Communists and the Jews. They then convinced the aging and largely
ceremonial president Paul von Hindenberg, to sign the Reichstag fire decree, which
eliminated the human rights protections of the Weimar Constitution. Hitler proclaimed
in an address: “You are now witnessing the beginning of a great epoch in German
history...This fire is the beginning.” 4,000+ blameless Communists and Jews were
arrested from stolen political lists and scapegoated; many executed or sent to the prison
camps

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 30
Show-trials followed the nation-wide hysteria, and as a result of the false terror, the
Enabling Act (paralleling the Patriot Act) was authorized and Hitler was then legally
empowered as Führer, rising to dictatorial power through a perversion and manipulation
of the democratic process by using fear as a political device and ally. The Night of the
Long Knives came next and many of the Nazi Party’s former supporters, the useful
idiot’s, dupes, and many of the SA-Brownshirt’s were executed, purged, or imprisoned,
as well as other many political opponents and potential rivals. It has been said before
that “all revolutions eat their own young.” The duped SA, in total futility, proclaimed
their loyalty to Hitler with the arm-raised “Heil Hitler’s” even up to the point of being
lined against the wall just before being shot by the .
The Gleiwitz incident was a staged pretext attack committed by Germany upon itself to
blame Poland for an attack on a radio station along the Polish-German border on the
night of Aug. 31, 1939. The officers seized the radio station in Polish military garb and
proclaimed over the airwaves: "People of Poland, the time has come for war between
Poland and Germany!" A German prison camp inmate named Francis Honiok was given
a lethal injection and then shot, positioned at the radio station wearing a Polish military
uniform and presented as proof to the media that Poland and Polish insurgents were
responsible for the attack. Twenty-one other attacks, collectively named Operation
Himmler, named after the commander of the Schutzstaffel, the General Heinrich
Himmler, were staged along the border to bolster the Nazi claims. Prior to the staged
event, Goebbel’s propaganda machine went into overdrive churning out and spinning
reports of Polish atrocities on ethnic Germans residing in Poland, to inflame the public.
Hitler stated the theory of the Big Lie about the operation: "I shall give a propagandist
reason for starting the war. Never mind whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not
be
asked
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 31
afterward whether he told the truth or not. In starting and waging a war it is not right
that matters but victory."10
The Deceit and Treason at Pearl Harbor.
In a pattern to be followed nearly 60 years later, the attack on Pearl Harbor was
originally attributed by the 1942 Knox Commission to “failures in intelligence” and
“incompetence.” In truth extracted painstakingly over 60 years of research and Freedom
of Information requests, it can be reasonably determined that President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt committed treason against America and her loyal military forces by allowing
th
the massive Imperial Japanese Navy air attack on December 7 , the “Day of Infamy,” to
proceed unimpeded with the desired goal bring the reluctant U.S. into the war in Europe
from the exploitation of the expected national outrage and indignation. He knew.
According to the recently declassified Top Secret memo drafted in October 1940 by
Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum, working for Naval Intelligence in
Washington,11 the United States effectively maneuvered the Japanese into a corner by
means of implementing the affirmative mechanisms listed on the memo. The Japanese
had no other alternative to maintain their economy and military but to attack the U.S.
The McCollum memo was an 8-step plan to force or entice the Japanese to attack the US
by redeploying the Pacific fleet to Hawaii, using an oil embargo against the Japanese,
military provocations in China, deploying U.S. cruisers to Japanese territorial waters in
antagonist “pop-up” maneuvers, and a collaborative embargo enforced by the British
and the Dutch.12 U.S. Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson in November, 1941 issued the
following order sent out to all U.S. military commanders: "The United States desires that
Japan commit the first overt act." Stimson later wrote in his personal diary, The USS
Arizona
sunk
at
Pearl
Harbor
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 32
"[The President] brought up the event that we were likely to be attacked perhaps next
Monday, for the Japanese were notorious for making an attack without warning, and the
question was what we should do. The question was how we should maneuver them into
the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves. This
was a difficult proposition."
The Japanese, by having their oil supply cut off and their economy throttled by the
embargoes of the U.S. and Britain, were effectively backed into a corner. Oliver
Lyttleton, British Minister of Production, stated in 1944: "Japan was provoked into
attacking America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty of history to say that America was
forced into the war."13 Consider today what the United States would be forced into doing
if Russia or China collaborated with Saudi Arabia to cut off our supply to oil and to
disrupt our economy. To further add fuel to the fire, in July 1941, the U.S. government
froze all Japanese assets and finances located in the U.S.14 This in no means exculpates
the Japanese for the attack, but if the roles had been reversed, would the United States
have acted markedly different?
The U.S. military had also successfully cracked the Japanese military and diplomatic
codes (Japanese Navy JN-25, MAGIC and PURPLE) with a high degree of success,15 and
were able intercept and decipher the transmissions of diplomatic and military plans.16 In
his meticulously researched and critically acclaimed book,17 Day of Deceit, WWII
historian Robert B. Stinnett states: "Seven Japanese naval broadcasts intercepted
between Nov. 28 and Dec. 6 confirmed that Japan intended to start the war and that it
would begin at Pearl Harbor."18 The top secret radio stations at Hawaii, know as Station

November 15 and December 6. One of the messages intercepted and decoded was from
Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto himself:
The task force, keeping its movement strictly secret and maintaining close guard against
submarines and aircraft, shall advance into Hawaiian waters, and upon the very opening
of hostilities shall attack the main force of the United States fleet in Hawaii and deal it a
mortal blow.19
The Honolulu Advisor on November 30, 1941 headlined a story “JAPANESE MAY
STRIKE OVER WEEKEND,”20 yet the Navy at Pearl Harbor, in the largest concentration
of U.S. military power in the Pacific, was in a relaxed demeanor, in an actual “standdown.” The U.S. Chief of Naval Operations issued, on the basis of an intercepted coded
message of the Japanese intent of war, orders to allow U.S. unrestricted submarine and
air warfare against Japanese forces, yet the battleship fleet remained asleep and unaware
at anchor.21 As early as 0342 on December 7, Japanese 2-man midget submarine
periscopes were detected off Honolulu Harbor and at 0445 Japanese midget submarines
were detected by minesweepers and engaged by the destroyer USS Ward22 nearly three
hours before the Japanese Navy surprise air attack on Pearl Harbor naval bases and
army air bases, yet the military remained in a “stand down” posture at Pearl Harbor.23
All this hostile activity, the early radar detection of the incoming attacking wave of
Japanese fighters, torpedo, and high altitude bombers, yet the military was in “stand
down.”
Roosevelt and General Marshall allowed the December 7 attack to proceed unimpeded
resulting in 2400 sacrificial U.S. deaths and heavy damage to the anchored battleship
fleet. Coincidentally, or perhaps with tactical foresight, the most modern vessels of the
U.S. fleet, the aircraft carriers Enterprise, Lexington, and the Saratoga and their
escorts, were ordered away from Hawaii just days prior to the attacks, leaving only the
older
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 34
and obsolete battleships and cruisers remaining anchored to receive the brunt of the
Japanese attack. It was just an extraordinary and convenient strategic coincidence. The
older WW1-era battleships and cruisers were anchored in neat rows and the aircraft
lined nose-to-nose at the Army airfields, making them ripe targets for the picking.
Roosevelt intently desired to bring the U.S. into the war to fight the Germans in Europe,
knowing that the mutual defense treaties, the Oct. 7, 1940 Tripartite Pact between Italy,
Germany, and Japan would provide the perfect legal justification, and the resulting
outrage of Pearl Harbor would force the U.S. to enter the European war through the
backdoor. Harold Ickes, secretary of the Interior, said in October 1941: "For a long time I
have believed that our best entrance into the war would be by way of Japan."24 On the
th
evening of December 6 , General Marshall was at the White House consulting with
Roosevelt and others awaiting the attack. He is reputed by Pulitzer winning historian
John Toland to have stated, “Gentlemen, this goes to the grave with us.”25
The course that America was set on going to war was decided long before the Pearl
Harbor attacks. Roosevelt campaigned to the American people on a platform of
isolationism and staying out of the European conflict, but was using backchannels to
provoke a war with Japan; all that was needed was the appropriate trigger mechanism.
Writing in 1938, a full three years before the Pearl Harbor sneak attack, a British
propagandist, Captain Sidney Rogerson presciently wrote of a familiar sounding sales
pitch:
To persuade her [the United States] to take our part will be much more difficult, so
difficult as to be unlikely to succeed. It will need a definite threat to America, a threat,
moreover, which will have to be brought home by propaganda to every citizen, before the
republic will again take arms in an external quarrel...“The position will naturally be
considerably eased if Japan were involved, and this might and probably would bring
America in without further ado. At any rate, it would be a natural and obvious effect of our
propagandists to achieve this, just as in the Great War they succeeded in embroiling the
United States with Germany. Fortunately with America, our propaganda is on firm
ground. We can be entirely sincere, as our main plank will be the old democratic one. We
must
clearly
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 35
enunciate our belief in the democratic form of government, and our firm resolve to adhere
to...the old goddess of democracy routine.26
The Betrayal of the Atomic Soldiers.
Operations Tumbler-Snapper, Plumbbob, Upshot-Knothole, Buster-Jangle, and several
others, were among a series of 1940-1960’s Cold-War atmospheric atomic bomb
experiments beginning with the July 1941 Trinity test blast at the Alamogordo range in
New Mexico. Over the series of atmospheric tests, tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers,
sailors, airmen, and cleanup crews took to the testing grounds and conducted drills and
maneuvers just after atomic devices were exploded, and were exposed to high levels of
ionizing radiation at testing ranges in the Pacific and also in New Mexico and Nevada.
Support personnel and clean up crews were also overexposed to ionizing radiation from
the detonation sites.
Defense Department films from the era show soldiers with no protective gear and no gas
masks being brushed off from the radioactive fallout with nothing more than common
straw brooms. Other test films show the troops within the shadow of the atomic
mushroom cloud still rising in their very near vicinity, as well as being swept with
massive fallout dust waves from the blast. The atomic tests conducted with U.S. military
personnel were larger in explosive yield and also in emitted radiation than the two
atomic weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Personal radiation
exposure badges were primitive and imprecise and are now presumed to have led to
overexposures.27 The soldiers and airmen flew testing and sampling aircraft, marched,
and conducted simulated combat operations among the fallout and worked within A

the radioactive area of ground zero, without protective clothing or respiratory devices.
Imagine working in the Chernobyl reactor accident cleanup without radiation gear as a
fair comparison. Several blasts were conducted that exposed soldiers and airmen to
heavy doses of dangerous ionizing radiation with the purpose of conditioning U.S. troops
to the false security of atomic combat.
After many decades of illnesses and cancer related deaths, these soldiers have yet to be
fully compensated for their injuries.28 Disabled American Veterans National
Commander Michael E. Dobmeier says: ''Veterans exposed to ionizing radiation suffer
debilitating illnesses and disabilities but are treated as second-class citizens by the
federal government.”29 These faithful soldiers were abandoned by their government to
fend for themselves and to suffer in silence. Is it anti-patriotic to point out these
injustices and oversights? What would General Washington have done for these troops?
In the brutal winter of 1777, at the Valley Forge encampment, General George
Washington, himself penned several unflattering and angry letters to the Continental
Congress over the poor supply, morale of his troops, the lack of food, shoes, pay, and
other basic necessities for his desperately under-provisioned troops. He lambasted and
condemned the Continental Congress for their thrifty and laissez-faire attitude towards
fighting the conflict. Was he a traitor? Was he anti-patriotic? Did he aggravate the
already hungry and demoralized troops under his command by his exhortations and
admonishments to the warmly housed and well-fed politician’s content to let others do
the fighting with little or no compensation and poor lack of provision? No, of course he
did
not.

The Gulf of Tonkin and the Vietnam War.
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that gave President Lyndon B. Johnson the legal
authority to bring the U.S. into wider conflict in Vietnam was a product of another series
of U.S. provocations and deliberate deceptions. On August 2, 1964 U.S. naval forces were
performing aggressive joint CIA and South Vietnamese surveillance and covert hit-andrun guerilla military operations, (such as bombing radar installations and bridges
against North Vietnam under the auspices of Operation Plan 34-A), when they were
intercepted and attacked by North Vietnamese patrol boats. The commander of the
destroyer/surveillance ship USS Maddox, Capt. John J. Herrick, indicated that he
believed his ship was an active participant in the covert OPLAN 34-A operations.30 The
response from North Vietnam on August 2nd was far from an unprovoked attack, nor
unexpected for attacks that could be argued already were acts of war by the United
States, and without the knowledge and consent of the Congress. Johnson also
acknowledged the covert operations against North Vietnam when he stated, “There have
been some covert operations in that (Tonkin Gulf) area that we have been carrying on blowing up some bridges and things of that kind, roads and so forth. So I imagine (the
North Vietnamese) wanted to put a stop to it.”31 If, hypothetically, Cuba was conducting
raiding and sabotage attacks into the U.S., wouldn’t we do something to intercept them
or inhibit them from carrying out their mission(s)?
Additionally, further substantive and credible evidence exists that the “attacks” of
August 4th on the Maddox were either faked, non-existent, or over-exaggerated.32
Archived audio tapes released by the Johnson Presidential Library call into question the
veracity of the claims that North Vietnamese ever attacked the Maddox on August 4th.

to the 34A operations. The reports from Maddox indicated that two unidentified vessels
approached and launched 20 torpedoes at the ship. The U.S. destroyers responded to
two ambiguous and unidentified radar blips with heavy and sustained fire of 5-inch
guns, 3-inch guns, and also depth charges. Subsequent reports that day from Admiral
Grant Sharp, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet informed the Joints Chiefs that “many
of the reported contacts and torpedoes fired appear “doubtful,” and blamed the initial
reports on “overeager sonar men” and “freak weather effects on radar.”33 Captain John
J. Herrick cabled the Pentagon with a FLASH (extremely urgent) message and reported
that there were “no actual visual sightings [of North Vietnamese ships] by Maddox.
Suggest complete evaluation before any further action taken.”34
That flash communication was received by McNamara and the Pentagon approximately
an hour before the President interrupted national television. Other statements on the
tapes indicated a qualified reservation about the reliability of the attacks, with messages
from Admiral Sharp in response to a question from Air Force Lt. General Burchinal of
the JCS such as: “You’re pretty sure there was a torpedo attack? No doubt about that, I
think.”35 I think? Further calling into dispute the ‘official story’ is the statement given by
squadron commander James Stockdale, one of the U.S. naval aviators flying air cover
overhead August 4. In the 1990’s, Admiral Stockdale, a seven year “Hanoi Hilton” POW
survivor who endured horrible tortures and was a recipient of the Congressional Medal
of Honor recollected: “I had the best seat in the house to watch that event, and our
destroyers were just shooting at phantom targets -- there were no PT boats there. There
was nothing there but black water and American fire power.”36 Another A-4 Skyhawk
pilot on patrol over the Gulf, Naval commander Wesley McDonald, later reported, "(The
destroyer crews) were calling out where they thought the torpedo boats were, but I could
never find the damn torpedo boats."
President Johnson admitted his uncertainty a year later as to whether the North
Vietnamese patrol boats ever attacked the U.S initially. Johnson said in 1965,
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 39
“For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whale’s out there.”37 The entire incident was a
ruse, a manufactured fabrication and distortion of the truth, however, President
Johnson went before the American people interrupting broadcast television and
announced the attacks as genuine, despite having been advised just half an hour before
the national broadcast that there were substantial doubts as to the Aug. 4th attacks with
several contradictory statements and flimsy evidence.
These “attacks” formed the justification for Johnson to brazenly request the Gulf of
Tonkin Resolution. The Congress was implicitly threatened with being labeled antipatriotic, they were stampeded into responding to Johnson’s live late-night televised
announcement by delivering to the president a blank check authorizing the buildup of
troops, previously and expeditiously termed “advisors,” and escalated the conflict. For
the first time in American history, U.S. troops were engaged in a war without the formal
constitutionally required declaration of war. Years later, additional recorded
conversations between Johnson and McNamara emerged from the Johnson Library that
indicated that Johnson was particularly angry at McNamara. In a secret recording
Johnson berated Robert McNamara, his Defense Secretary, for misleading him. "You
said, 'Damn, they are launching an attack on us, they are firing on us.' When we got
through with all the firing, we concluded maybe they hadn't fired at all."38 These
arrogant men, walking in counsel with no one but themselves and pre-committed to
escalating the Vietnam beyond small low-intensity guerillas skirmishes, took the nation
to war, and created a blood-bath that cost the needless deaths of 58,000 servicemen on
the pretext of scant and exaggerated evidence.
With this fait accompli the Vietnam War began and was then waged and escalated
through to the Nixon Administration. Numerous social repercussions followed,
including the polarization of the country, demoralization, feminism and the decline of
the traditional nuclear family, the sexual revolution, and the massive increase of drugs
being

goldmine and a wide-open bank vault for the Military Industrial Complex in defense
contracts, weapons development, and open testing on the battlefields and jungles of
Vietnam. In total, the Vietnam War cost the needless sacrifice of 58,226 U.S. soldiers
killed and 153,303 casualties suffered (and up to 1 million Vietnamese killed and
injured). Those Americans that didn’t come home in a body bag were physically and
mentally maimed and still bear scars seen and unseen.
Decades later, in 1995, former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara visited Hanoi,
Vietnam and met with former adversary North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap. In
that meeting Giap disclosed to McNamara the alleged second attack in the Gulf of
Tonkin never occurred. McNamara states unequivocally that: "I am prepared to say
without a doubt there was no second attack."39 Very recently in December 2005, after
the release of numerous declassified intelligence documents, the National Security
Agency’s in-house publication Cryptologic Quarterly, intelligence analyst and historian
Robert J. Hanyok concludes that beyond doubt, “no attack happened that night… The
parallels between the faulty intelligence on Tonkin Gulf and the manipulated intelligence
used to justify the Iraq war make it all the more worthwhile to re-examine the events of
August 1964 in light of new evidence”40 However in an unprecedented release of SIGINT
th
documentation, NSA reports, on Aug. 4 , indicate that the North Vietnamese were only
conducting salvage efforts on two patrol vessels.41 He goes on further to claim that the
intelligence data was “deliberately skewed” for policymakers eager to expand the conflict
and receive a Congressional go-ahead.42 This evidence of was also purposely withheld
since 2001 to avoid embarrassment to the government and to prevent comparison to the

Matthew Aid, a research assistant to Haynok, claimed that “This material is relevant to
debates we as Americans are having about the war in Iraq and intelligence reform…To
keep it classified simply because it might embarrass the agency is wrong.”44 Remember
this situation when you come to the section on Operation Northwoods in the next
chapter.
Vietnam and Agent Orange. The another horrible consequence of the Vietnam War
was the introduction of the heavy use of chemical defoliants, herbicides, and dioxin
toxins in the massive spraying campaigns of Operation Ranch Hand. Originally using
weapons such as napalm and white phosphorus, chemical defoliants, and herbicides
were used to eliminate the thick triple canopy jungle cover and hiding areas for the Viet
Cong and the NVA regular and their supply lines, destroying millions of acres of jungle
and also poisoning farmland and rice fields for years to come. Agent Orange, Agent Blue,
Agent Purple, and Agent Pink, and others were manufactured by Monsanto and Dow
Chemical, and their use in Vietnam resulted in the untold tens of thousands of birth
defects and genetic damage to the Vietnamese, and also in a cruel twist of fate, also to
U.S. soldiers and their children. Up to 2.4 million people were exposed to Agent Orange,
so named after its orange stripe around 55 gallon barrels, and its various cumulative
genetic damaging side effects45 and cancers.46 In all, during the Vietnam conflict, C-123
planes sprayed more than 19 million gallons of Agent Orange and other herbicides,
leaving a horrible and long lasting legacy of poison and the burdens of genetic
deformities.47 Spraying Agent Orange defoliant in Vietnam Spraying death and genetic deformity for

Seven years after the Vietnam War began, the Pentagon Papers, the government’s secret
and official history of the run-up to Vietnam,48 were leaked and it was revealed that the
administration officials had begun drafts of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution two months
prior to the confrontation in the Gulf of Tonkin.49 This closely echo’s the rushed passing
of the 2001 USA-Patriot Act, a 1000+ page law introduced and ramrodded through
Congress just weeks after the 9/11 attacks, but it’s just a coincidence, nothing to worry
about, go back to sleep. The Patriot Act, just like the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, was
prepared months to years in advance and merely sat on some shelf awaiting the
opportunistic triggering event to unveil it to a cowed population.
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study.
For nearly 40 years, from 1932 to 1972, the U.S. government administered by the US
Public Health Service in Macon County, Alabama, in secret the infamous and heinous
syphilis experiments to track the disease’s painful progression from initial infection up
to and including the death of many patients. The government intentionally left untreated
a painful debilitating and fatal disease on 399 unwitting and uninformed poor blacks in
Tuskegee, AL just to gain widely known medical data.50 The known and accepted
treatment of penicillin was intentionally withheld from the largely poor and uneducated
black men.
Medical doctors, actually ghouls in lab coats, broke their Hippocratic Oath to do no harm
to patients in a morbid curiosity and lied to their patients that they were treating them,
when in fact they were mistreating them as experiment subjects without their informed
consent. This is terribly reminiscent of the forced medical experimentation on
concentration camp prisoners, including children, during WW2 by the grotesquely evil
Nazi officer Dr. Joseph Mengele, the Auschwitz “Angel of Death.” President Clinton in a
public government apology to the surviving Tuskegee victims said,
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 43
The United States government did something that was wrong - deeply, profoundly, and
morally wrong. It was an outrage to our commitment to integrity and equality for all our
citizens…clearly racist. ~ President Clinton's apology for the Tuskegee Syphilis
Experiment to the eight remaining survivors, May 16, 1997
Biological Weapons Experiments.
The U.S. Government and military has conducted hundreds of biological experiments
upon the unknowing public.51 In 1966, the U.S. Army secretly released a limited
biological attack of a live anthrax simulant organism bacillus subtilis variant niger into
the New York subway system to measure its effectiveness and dispersal patterns.52 More
than a million civilians were unwittingly exposed when army scientists dropped light
bulbs filled with the live bacteria into ventilation grates. The government also released
live bacillus globiggii secretly in May 1965 in the Washington National Airport and at its
Greyhound Bus terminal.53
From 1954 to 1973, the U.S. Army at USARMIID, Ft. Detrick, Maryland, conducted
experiments in Project Whitecoat with live biological agents and vaccine testing on
approximately 2300 religious conscientious objectors, exposing them to biological
agents such as Q-fever and tularemia for weapons and countermeasures development.54
In 1950, the city of San Francisco was the target of tests of an aerosol cocktail of
biological agents dispensed by ship-based foggers in the bay.55 These secret experiments
resulted in an outbreak in pneumonia and a rash of flu-like deaths and hospitalizations.
Bubonic Plague, the medieval source of the Black Death which wiped out a third of the
population of Europe, was released in the 1950’s near Scotland.56 The U.S. military
openly admits to 50 experiments conducted on U.S. troops from 1962 to 1973 involving
nearly 5,900 servicemen.57 Disclosed in September of 2005, three laboratory mice with
Project
Whitecoat
strains
of
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 44
bubonic plague were reported missing from a Level 3 Hazard bioterrorism lab in New
Jersey.58 The mice were only reported to the press as missing after a two week delay.
That is unacceptable negligence and incompetence.
In 1958, the United States conducted secret experiments in Georgia and Florida with the
release of swarms of specially bred mosquitoes to discover if the insects could be used as
a delivery system for biological weapons agents. The mosquitoes deployed were the
precise aedes aegypti mosquito that carries the dengue fever virus as well as other
deadly or debilitating pathogens such as malaria, West Nile, and eastern equine
encephalitis. Between May and October 1981, an epidemic of dengue fever spread
through Cuba with 158 reported fatalities (101 children) and over 300,000 suffering
from exposure. In 1967 it was reported by Science magazine that at the US government
center in Fort Detrick, Maryland, dengue fever was amongst those "diseases that are at
least the objects of considerable research and that appear to be among those regarded as
potential BW [biological warfare] agents."59
Over 239 open-air tests were conducted by the U.S., of which 80 used live strains of
biological agents and were released in or near U.S cities.60 Some of the areas targeted
included San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City,
Minneapolis, and St. Louis. "Release in and near cities, in real-world circumstances,
were considered essential to the program, because the effect of a built-up area on a
biological agent cloud was unknown," Edward A. Miller, the Army’s secretary for
research and development testified before a Senate sub-committee in 1977.61 In 1965,
near the outskirts of the City of Stillwater, Oklahoma was the test-site of an experiment
where the military deployed florescent particles of zinc cadmium sulfide. Cadmium is a
known human health hazard, even in small amounts. No post-test monitoring of the
population of Oklahoma was conducted and illnesses from exposure to concentrations of
cadmium could have ranged from organ failure to cancer.62 These types of air releases

determining drift patterns of chemicals or pathogens in U.S. cities in a mock attack. On
August 8, 2005 New York City was the site of a drill testing several chemicals in a gas
overseen by the Dept. of Homeland security under the operation name Urban Dispersion
Project.63
Given the military’s and the government’s dismal track record in disclosing these
operations, it is wise to be skeptical of their stated intentions and have a watchdog
mentality. On Sept. 24-25, 2005, biohazard sensors were triggered in Washington D.C.,
when small amounts of highly infectious tularemia were discovered,64 coincidentally on
the weekend of the largest mass protest against the Iraq War and against President
George Bush, who also coincidentally was participating in a secret urban warfare and
martial law drill called Granite Shadow.65 Biological agents discovered during a protest
march? Was somebody sending a veiled threat, a shot across the bow, to the protesters
against further marches? It’s just a coincidence; nothing to worry about.
In the fall of 2001, several weeks after the 9/11 attacks, a series of anonymous attacks
were sent through the U.S. postal system. The letters contained very dangerous and
potentially lethal anthrax spores. These specially designed weaponized spores were of
highest grade of military biological agents and were selectively sent to key U.S.
Congressmen and Senators, as well as across the country, just coincidentally on the eve
of passing the Patriot Act after 9/11. The source of this weaponized Ames-strain of
anthrax was traced back to a U.S. military production facility and to date no one has
been charged or tried as a result of the wave of attacks.66 The anthrax infected envelopes
to key members of Congress were a direct threat, with the clear message of “pass this
legislation or else.” It is similar to the La Cosa Nostra mafia trademark tactic of leaving a
newspaper-wrapped fish on someone’s doorstep as a warning. Anthrax bacteria
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 46
So, are you going to continue to believe that Al-Qaeda stole a batch or a sample of highly
secure ultra-high grade weaponized anthrax from a U.S. military and biological weapons
development facility? Are you going to believe that they then cooked up 20-30 kilograms
of a high quality U.S. military created variant of weapons-grade anthrax in a cave, or in a
suburban New Jersey garage, and just coincidentally mailed it out to arrive on the desk
of Senate leaders just before voting on the Patriot Act? None of the anthrax envelopes
were sent to President Bush nor to any members of the administration, who also
surprisingly just so happened to be placed on the antibiotic Cipro the day of the 9/11
attacks, three weeks before any of the anthrax laced packages began arriving.67 Cipro is
the antibiotic treatment of choice for anthrax infections. That this is merely a
“coincidence” is an outrageous suspension of critical thinking, turning a blind eye to the
obvious.
After the Patriot Act was passed, the threat of anthrax attacks subsided considerably and
has fallen off the radar of the media, the FBI, and more importantly, the sleeping herd of
sheep in America. It’s all just a big coincidence, nothing to worry about, please go back
about your business. Wake Up! Do you enjoy being conned? Do you enjoy having the
government lies and frauds flaunted right in front of your face? They are laughing at you,
at us. This isn’t just some bad used car sale and a crooked salesman; this is your rights
under assault and your liberties at stake and they being systematically stripped away
under the guise of providing security for a crisis they, these so-called protectors, create.
This is the very definition of tyrannical rule. It is tyrannical rule in a velvet glove
perhaps,
but
still
tyrannical.

Chemical Weapons Experiments.
The U.S. Government and military conducted numerous and extensive nerve gas and
chemical weapons tests on thousands of human subjects, for example: Project 112, a
series of tests named Devils Hole 1-3, Big Tom, Rapid Tan 1-3, and Project Shad
(Shipboard Hazard and Defense).68 The experiments under Project Shad69 were
performed covertly on uninformed and unprotected troops and sailors in the U.S. and
also in the United Kingdom.70 LSD,71 VX72 and sarin73 nerve agents have also been used
on troops to measure effects and exposure levels.74 Sarin is a toxin that can trigger
symptoms including difficulty breathing, nausea, violent body jerking, staggering, loss of
bladder and bowel control, and death. VX nerve agents are usually an oily liquid that is
tasteless and odorless and considered one of the most deadly agents ever made by man.
With severe exposure to the skin or lungs, death usually occurs within 10 to 15 minutes.
In the 1965, U.S. Army soldier Arnold Parks was selected for and administered what he
believed was a new polio vaccine. In later years he learned it was the deadly nerve agent
VX, sarin, and LSD. He states:
And it states right in there on this date they gave me VX, on this date they gave me Sarin,
on this date they gave me LSD," Parks said. "I was angry. As a matter of fact, I came
unglued. "The VX they gave, it was a pill. And I asked the guy after I took that, you know, I
asked him ‘what was that?’ He said, 'That’s the new pill for polio.'75
When he was administered the doses on LSD, he related that he had acid “trips” that
involved murderous hallucinations and dreams. It can be considered reasonably
doubtful to assume that Parks was the only one subjected to these surreptitious and
unethical experiments. The Veteran’s Administration refuses to give him compensation
or acknowledge any link from his dosing to ailments and after effects he suffered.76 Even
with this limited disclosure by the military, it doesn’t necessarily bode well for full
disclosure.
U.S.

says:
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 48
The fact that the military is investigating, it doesn't breed confidence. The military tends
to downplay its involvement with radiation, with biological warfare and chemical
warfare…The military does not have a very good record when it comes to examining itself.
Its past record of candid review, it's just not there."77
In other secret experiments, the chemical agent BZ,78 a strong and long-term
hallucinogenic and psychotropic agent related to scopolamine (a truth serum
interrogation drug), was sprayed onto U.S. troops in Vietnam, Hawaii, and other
locations.79 The effects of BZ were known to last for weeks after exposure to the
chemicals. Project Dork was conducted upon 362 unwitting subjects that were sprayed
with BZ (quinuclidinyl benzilate), known as “agent buzz.” The 1990 movie, Jacob’s
Ladder, depicted the effects from the spraying of BZ mist upon the human test subjects
with the result being hallucinating and disoriented troops engaging in friendly fire
incidents. These tests were often done without full disclosure and informed consent, and
even with outright deception. According to a report in 1994 prepared for the U.S. Senate
Report Veteran’s Affairs Committee, “Is Military Research Hazardous to Veterans'
Health? Lessons Spanning Half a Century:”
Hundreds of soldiers were subjected to hallucinogens in experimental programs
conducted by the DOD in participation with, or sponsored by, the CIA. These servicemembers often unwittingly participated as human subjects in tests for drugs intended for
mind-control or behavior modification, often without their knowledge or consent.
Although the ultimate goal of those experiments was to provide information that would
help U.S. military and intelligence efforts, most Americans would agree that the use of
soldiers as unwitting guinea pigs in experiments that were designed to harm them, at least
temporarily, is not ethical.80
In 1965, prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia, under the direction of
V.K. Rowe of Dow Chemical and Dr. Albert Klingman, were subjected to dioxin, the
highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in Vietnam.81 The men are later
studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a
suspected
carcinogen
all
along.
Under
the
direction
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 49
of Dow Chemical researchers, pure dioxin was applied to the skin of prisoners. The
doctors at point even increased the dosage dramatically at one point in the study.
According to Dow, these men developed chloracne but no other health problems. But no
health records are available to confirm these findings, and no follow-up was done on the
prisoners, even after several went to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) after
they were released seeking help because they were sick. The EPA did not help them. The
EPA “lost” their files, even though major testimony regarding the study came to light in
1980 EPA hearings where the supervising study doctor appeared. The result was that
Dow Chemical could continue to maintain that the only observed side effects from the
dioxin exposure were cases of severe acne, chloracne.
In 1978, the Department of Defense decided to dispose of its remaining stockpiles of
Agent Orange after it had determined there were no legitimate domestic uses for the
chemical. Thousands of barrels left over from the war were burned at sea at Johnson
Island, a pacific atoll. The EPA provided safety manuals to the crew of the incinerator
ship Vulcanus. The EPA 1978 manual indicated:
The highly toxic contaminant present in Herbicide Orange is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzop-dioxin. The US Air Force has analyzed Herbicide Orange stocks and found TCDD
concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 47 ppm [parts per million]. Times Beach was
evacuated at 2 ppb—parts per billion. Pooled stocks would have an estimated average
TCDD concentration of 1.9 ppm. The principal Herbicide Orange constituent of concern,
TCDD, has been found to be highly embryotoxic, teratogenic (tending to cause
developmental malfunctions and monstrosities,) and acnegenic and is lethal in the
microgram-per-kilogram of body weight range.82
If this weren't enough, the manual was put together with the cooperation of Dow
Chemical's Rowe, who had been Dow's point man in telling all the customers that there
were no problems with their herbicides while secretly writing to all Dow management
that
TCDD
is
"the
most
toxic
material
we've
ever
studied."

To certain uncaring, unsympathetic, and even malevolent elements within the
government, our U.S. troops are nothing more than cannon-fodder, lab-monkeys, and
guinea pigs. You know them by their fruits, not by their words. Wake Up!
Secret Nuclear Experiments and Air Releases.
The U.S. government conducted numerous secret experiments ranging from individual
human testing (injecting uranium and plutonium - Dr. Harold Hodge and Rochester, NY
University)83 on unwitting subjects, to intentional atmospheric (beyond above ground
atomic blasts) releases near or over cities and populated areas.84 A recent report from
U.S. scientists indicated that over 11,000 citizens were killed as a result of radioactive
fallout from U.S. atmospheric nuclear testing. Another hidden source of radioactive
releases is the admitted 32 “broken arrows”85 of the U.S. military and also the several
fires and accidents in atomic bomb manufacturing plants located around the U.S., such
as the fire that broke out at the Rocky Flats plutonium trigger facility in 1957, near
Denver and 600,000 people, that resulted in a massive release of highly toxic plutonium
into the area.86 In the words of Sue Roff, a radiation researcher, “It is a horrific legacy.”
Another horrific example of ethical misconduct was Project Sunshine. This was a
patently disgusting and evil program where 1000’s of dead children and stillborn were
used in top-secret atomic and radiological experiments, unknown to their parents. This
is horrible betrayal is nothing but government sanctioned infant grave-robbing.87 In
1995, the New York Times printed an article about 9,000 Americans, many of them
children, were subjects in 154 secret radiation exposure tests beginning in the 1940’s
sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission with little concern to informed
consent requirements for the patients.88 Wake Up!
The main reason for much of the horrific and unethical experimentation on human
beings was the Cold-War race with the Soviet Union for the hydrogen bomb and the
build-up of the American nuclear arsenal. In order to condition the
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 51
public into accepting thermonuclear weapons as a legitimate military tool, and to allay
the public fears of atmospheric testing and the now known resultant spreading of
dangerous radioactive fallout, studies with the pre-determined named outcome, such as
Project Sunshine were implemented. In his exceptional work, Tragedy and Hope,
historian and highly regarded mentor to President William Jefferson Clinton, (who
Clinton specifically mentioned in his 1992 Democratic Acceptance Speech at the DNC)89
Professor Carroll Quigley provides valuable insight:
To prepare public opinion to accept use of the H-bomb, if it became necessary, Strauss
sponsored a study of radioactive fallout whose conclusion was prejudged by calling it
"Project Sunshine." By selective release of some evidence and strict secrecy of other
information, they tried to establish in public opinion that there was no real danger to
anyone from nuclear fallout even in all-out nuclear war. This gave rise to controversy
between the scientists and the Administration on the danger of fallout.90
The Unholy Alliance of the CIA and Nazi War Criminals.
Many of the research techniques utilized in the brainwashing regimen were direct
descendents of the evil work done by Nazi medical scientists in the concentration camps
under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Mengele. This macabre knowledge was obtained at
the highest moral cost through the gruesome tortures and deaths of thousands of
innocent victims, including infants and children. After the fall of Nazi Germany, the
American government formed an unholy alliance with many high-ranking Nazi officials.
As well as the seized research files, the recovered personnel included top scientists, the
Nazi intelligence networks and crypto apparatus, and hundreds of other Nazi warcriminals, including the highest ranking officers, such as officers General Reinhard
Gehlen,91 Otto von Bolschwing (served on Adolf Eichmann’s staff), Otto "Scarface"
Skorzeny, and Gestapo officers such as Klaus Barbie – the infamous Butcher of Lyon, SA
“Brownshirt” Wilhelm Eitel and SS Gen. Reinhard Gehlen Nazi “super-spy”
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 52
others were clandestinely imported into the United States or into Latin America and
given sanctuary in return for service to the U.S. The Nazi’s had their war records and
dossiers whitewashed and given new identities under the Project Paperclip92 and the
Vatican “Ratline” programs. Regarding the acquisition of an intelligence asset as
staggeringly valuable as Gehlen was into the U.S. intelligence community. U.S.
spymaster Allen Dulles, who assisted in the rise of the Nazi’s and the financial
rehabilitation of Germany prior to WWII, reportedly claimed “He's on our side and that's
all that matters.”93
The U.S. government was willing and eager to use mass murderers, prison camp guards,
brutal Gestapo agents such as Barbie, human experimenters, and other war criminals, all
devoted Nazi’s, as well as protect them from prosecution at Nuremberg, and then to
smuggle and conceal their identity. The extensive Nazi influence in the creation of the
CIA cannot be overstated; “a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.”94 According to the
“official” government records, between 1945 and 1955, 765 scientists, engineers,
intelligence, and others with a checkered Nazi history were snuck into the country to
support America’s Cold War effort, the most widely known area was in rocket and
missile development for NASA95 Some estimates by officials place the number of Nazi
war criminals that entered the U.S. at 10,000.96 Many of these Nazi imports of Hitler’s
henchmen were described in the dossiers as “ardent” supporters of Nazi ideology even
after the war, and it is not known if they ever renounced their Nazi beliefs. As long as
plausible deniability could be contained from association to the U.S., almost anyone, of
any rank and degree of complicity in war crimes, or Nazi affiliation, was permissible.97
Christopher Simpson, in the book Blowback, claims that the Nazi-American
collaboration has borne ill fruit throughout the years, and we are still suffering from the
hangover politically. He says, “The Project Paperclip von Braun Rocket team at Fort Bliss
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 53
government's use of Nazis and collaborators in intelligence programs has also left a mark
on life in the United States itself. This impact is what is known in spy jargon as
"blowback," meaning unexpected and negative effects at home that result from covert
operations overseas.”98
Among the most famous of the Paperclip acquisitions was that of the architect of the V-1
and V-2 rocket programs, scientist Wernher von Braun, himself an Nazi officer. The Nazi
“Vengeance” rockets, the primitive cruise missile V1 “buzz-bomb” and ballistic V2
rockets were used in 1944-1945, and launched from Peenemunde’s underground tunnels
and construction facilities to terrorize Western Europe and Great Britain. Von Braun
eventually played the leading part in the developments of both the NASA space rockets
and also the U.S. military ICBM programs. During WWII however, at the enormous
hidden underground assembly complex in Peenemunde, Von Braun ruthlessly exploited
the nearby prison camp slave labor which resulted in thousands of deaths due to poor
working conditions, exposure, toxic chemicals, and starvation, a violation of the
Nuremberg Rules. The Nazi’s that were rescued, recruited, and absorbed into the early
U.S. intelligence agencies – that helped establish the CIA;99 the same Nazi scientists that
built the fantastic advanced weapons of WW2 and helped to build NASA, the same Nazi
mind control specialists that perfected unethical human medical experimentation, saw
their work expanded and continued under cloak and shadow in MK-ULTRA.
One of the greatest and shocking of untold stories is the incredible level of collusion
between American business interests and the Nazi regime.100 The four largest companies
had over $475 million invested in Nazi Germany at the start of the war.101 The Nazi Party
and Adolf Hitler were ushered into power and had the German economy and industrial
sectors rebuilt, (which was devastated by Former Nazi SS Wernher von Braun - NASA scientist
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 54
hyperinflation and the burdens of war reparations from WWI,) and defeated and
humiliated disarmed and depleted military forces rearmed to the teeth by several
prominent U.S. and British obscenely wealthy war profiteers masquerading as
industrialists. These traitors and their corporations have common household names
such as:
1. Magnate William Randolph Hearst and his publishing empire provided
favorable press coverage for the Nazi regime and Hitler for $400,000 a year. They
were an open propaganda outlet for Nazis and fascism.
2. Remington Arms provided small-arms and automatic weaponry to the SA to
ensure Hitler’s rise to power.
3. Andrew Mellon and Gulf Oil and ALCOA. "If America loses this war," said
Secretary of the Interior [Harold] Ickes, June 26, 1941, "it can thank the
Aluminum Corporation of America.” "Thurman Arnold, as assistant district
attorney of the United States, his assistant, Norman Littell, and several
Congressional investigations, have produced incontrovertible evidence that some
of our biggest monopolies entered into secret agreements with the Nazi cartels
and divided the world up among them, Most notorious of all was Alcoa, the
Mellon-Davis-Duke monopoly which is largely responsible for the fact America
did not have the aluminum with which to build airplanes before and after Pearl
Harbor, while Germany had an unlimited supply.”102
4. General Motors and DuPont built German tanks and engines for the Junker
bombers at the Adam-Opel plant. General Motors and DuPont built German
tanks and engines for the Junker bombers at the Adam-Opel plant. The two
largest tank producers in Hitler's Germany were Opel, a wholly owned subsidiary
of General Motors (controlled by the J.P. Morgan firm), and the Ford A. G.
subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company of Detroit. The Nazis granted tax-exempt
status to Opel in 1936, to enable General Motors to expand its production
facilities.103
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 55
5. The Wall Street (with offices in Berlin) law firm of Brown Brothers & Harriman,
founded by George H. Walker, Averell Harriman and E. Roland Harriman.
6. American I.G. Farben. The board of American I.G. had three directors from the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the most influential of the various Federal
Reserve Banks. American I.G. also had interlocks with Standard Oil of New
Jersey, Ford Motor Company, Bank of Manhattan (later to become the Chase
Manhattan), and A.E.G. (German General Electric). Second, three members of the
board of this American I.G. were found guilty at Nuremburg War Crimes Trials.
The three members were the German members, not the American. If members of
a corporate board are collectively responsible for their company’s actions, then
the American’s should have also been tried at Nuremburg.104
7. Bendix Aviation, and J.P. Morgan controlled General Motors supplied automatic
pilots, aircraft instruments, aircraft engine and diesel starters.
8. The extensive Nazi money laundering operation and front organization of
Union Banking Co. Bank and the Thyssen owned Bank Voor Handel en
Scheepvaart in Holland of New York and the subsidiary Hamburg-Amerika
Shipping Line and Fritz Thyssen and principal VP Prescott Bush.105 With both
banks, the transfer of money back and forth was easily accomplished.
9. Schroeder-Rock(efeller) Bank and John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles.
10. Consolidated Silesian Steel Co. and John Foster Dulles. Operated a camp at
Auschwitz with prison labor.
11. General Electric and A.E.G (German General Electric) supplied financial
support to Hitler and gained a world monopoly on tungsten carbide through its
cartel arrangements with Krupp.
12. International Telephone and Telegraph supplied artillery fuses,
communications, and Focke-Wulf bombers, and ball bearings. Paul

Higham writes: “After Pearl Harbor, the German army, navy and air force
contracted with ITT for the manufacture of switchboards, telephones, alarm
gongs, buoys, air raid warning devices, radar equipment and 30 thousand fuses
per month for artillery shells used to kill British and American troops. This was
increased to 50 thousand per month by 1944. In addition, ITT supplied
ingredients for the [V1] rocket bombs that fell on London, selenium cells for dry
rectifiers, high-frequency radio equipment and fortification and field
communication sets."
13. United Steel and Fritz Thyssen supplied raw essential materials and ore.
14. The Rockefellers with Standard Oil (now Exxon) and Chase Bank (Paris) had
an extensive relationship with the giant German industrial powerhouse I.G.
Farben (manufacturers of the infamous Zyklon-B death gas used in the Nazi
concentration camps), Chase Bank aggressively seized Jewish accounts in France,
and never closed operations. In a 1947 case, Judge Charles Clark issued the
statement: ''Standard Oil can be considered an enemy national in view of its
relationships with I.G. Farben-after the United States and Germany had become
active enemies."106
15. Coca-Cola and its German subsidiary Fanta.
16. IBM supplied the punch card system to run the concentration camps and
logistics.
17. Ford Motor Co. plants in Germany built armored cars and trucks for the
Nazi’s.107 As late as 1940, Ford Motor Company "refused to build aircraft engines
for England and instead built supplies of the 5-ton military trucks that were the
backbone of German army transportation."108
18. Kodak and its technical and financial assistance, and production of weapons
components to Nazi Germany using prison camp slave labor.109
Historian Antony C. Sutton writes in Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler that:
It is important to note…that General Motors, Ford, General Electric, DuPont and the
handful of U.S. companies intimately involved with the development of Nazi Germany
were — except for the Ford Motor Company — controlled by the Wall Street elite — the
J.P.
Morgan
firm,
the
Rockefeller
Chase
Bank
and
to
a
lesser
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 57
extent the Warburg Manhattan bank. This…is not an indictment of all American industry
and finance. It is an indictment of the "apex" — those firms controlled through the
handful of financial houses, the Federal Reserve Bank system, the Bank for International
Settlements, and their continuing international cooperative arrangements and cartels
which attempt to control the course of world politics and economics… It is these U.S.
connections in Wall Street that concern us. Without the capital supplied by Wall Street,
there would have been no I. G. Farben in the first place and almost certainly no Adolf
Hitler and World War II.110
German Nazi’s and American industrialists were as thick as thieves, often serving on the
same boards together. Several of these interests, notably Union Banking, its
subsidiaries-Holland American Trading and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation,
the Harriman Fifteen Holding Company and the Hamburg-Amerika Line, are seized by
the U.S. Government under the Trading with the Enemy Act [Office of Alien Property
Custodian, Vesting Order No. 248. The order was signed by Leo T. Crowley, Alien
Property Custodian, executed October 20, 1942; F.R. Doc. 42-11568; Filed, November 6,
1942, 11:31 A.M.; 7 Fed. Reg. 9097 (Nov. 7, 1942)]. At the dissolution and liquidation of
the Union Banking Co. assets in 1951, Prescott Bush received $1.5 million in blood
money, indirect derivatives of concentration camp slave labor, and contributing to, and
profiting from, the deaths of countless American soldiers.
The Nazi’s found eager and willing collaborators and financial patrons in U.S. industry
and financial arenas, specifically in Wall Street interests before, during, and after
WWII.111 These are the same U.S. industrialists and financiers that were involved behind
the scenes in the Business Plot of 1933 to stage a fascist coup of the U.S. government.
The efforts of John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, Fritz Thyssen, Prescott Bush, E. Roland
Harriman and Averell Harriman, in directly or through proxy, supporting Nazi Germany
and Hitler cannot be overstated enough. They were, and are, traitors of America and
humanity in the first degree. On January 4, 1933, at the home of banker Baron Kurt von
Schroeder, the Dulles brothers, legal agents in the New York law firm of Sullivan
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 58
and Cromwell, and representatives of the Schroeder Bank, were present at the meeting
where Hitler was brought into the German government and given financial banking.
Simply put, Germany’s war machine and war-making capability would not have been
possible without massive U.S. corporate assistance. Germany received military aid in
producing synthetic rubber, tetraethyl lead ethyl lead production, soft coal to fuel and oil
conversion technology, aluminum processing, and several other critical areas. Standard
Oil even supplied fuel to Germany’s war effort through third party nations Switzerland
and Spain, and refueled submarines at the Canary Islands. In several instances, these
treasonous corporate interests withheld vital technology and patents from the U.S.
wartime needs while giving them to the enemy.
They did not give up their philosophies just because they lost a war; these Nazi parasites
went underground, they found new hosts to incubate and spread their beliefs and
practices. They also continued to benefit from deep-pocketed super-rich financial
backers. NASA itself was the recipient of billions of U.S. taxpayer financing with former
Nazi’s at the purse strings, and with the CIA having a strong former Nazi pedigree, one
has to wonder the damage that has been done, and how much “blowback” is to be
expected for getting in bed with the Nazi’s at the end of WWII. Some may argue that
while the Germans lost WWII, the Nazi’s just relocated and switched sides. Some, such
as M.I.T. professor Noam Chomsky, have even argued that by the alchemical
transmutation of Nazi’s philosophy and practices with American ideals and the mass
importation of Nazi’s war criminals to the U.S. in important positions in the intelligence
and academic communities, and allowed the planted seeds of fascism to germinate here,
that they defacto won the war.112 In a report to the U.S. Congress, Ambassador to
Germany, William E. Dodd wrote of the complicity of U.S. business interests in financing
the rebuilding and rearming of Nazi Germany, and the fascist government of Italy. He
said,
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 59
A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our
democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and
Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of
our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. . .
Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into
being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of
power, and they are helping to keep it there.
Is it remotely possible that there remains an underground Nazi fifth column working
behind the scenes to undermine the government and American society? Remember
President Reagan’s visit to the cemetery in Bitburg, Germany and how he called them
“victims?” In 1992, ex-Nazi war criminals Laszlo Pasztor (of the Nazi Hungarian Arrow
Cross) and Yaroslav Stetsko were forced to resign from the presidential campaign of
George H.W. Bush after their ties were revealed. In 1989, after taking the oath of office,
President Bush placed his financial assets in blind trust to be managed by William S.
Farish III, grandson of
the Standard Oil executive William Farish that supplied Hitler with the Zyklon-B gas
used in the factory death camps, and pled no contest in 1942 to conspiracy charges of
aiding the Nazi’s.
In 1946, Allen Dulles sought out a young Naval Officer who had been placed in charge of
captured Nazi documents. If documents arose that linked Dulles to Nazi collaboration it
would reveal Dulles as a traitor and end his career. In a deal, Dulles agreed to patron the
officer in his first electoral race. That Naval Officer was Richard Milhous Nixon. Senator
Prescott Bush (R-CT) later became a key proponent of Nixon and helps to have him
appointed to run with Eisenhower as Vice President. In 1953, Allen Dulles is selected to
head the CIA, and John Foster Dulles is appointed to Secretary of State. In 1961, Allen
Dulles orchestrates the failed the Bay of Pigs invasion against Cuba without President
Kennedy’s approval. Kennedy withholds crucial air support and the invasion flounders
and fails. Kennedy fires Dulles and begins preparations to break apart the CIA, cancels
Operation Northwoods and forces the resignation of several of the Joint Chiefs,
including
the
Chairman,
General
Lyman
Lemnitzer.
Kennedy
is

subsequently assassinated in Dallas, November 1963, and surprisingly Allen Dulles is
appointed to serve on the Warren Commission to investigate the assassination. It’s just
an extraordinary coincidence, nothing to worry about.
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble
for the safety of my country....corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption
in high places will follow, and the money of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign
by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands
and the Republic is destroyed.

MK-ULTRA and CIA Mind Control Experiments.
Even more disturbing is the admittedly extensive and Mengele-esque projects known as
MK-ULTRA,113 MK-SEARCH, MK-NAOMI, ARTICHOKE, Project MONARCH,114 and
Project BLUEBIRD115 experiments for developing human mind-control, truth serums,
effective torture-based interrogation methods and successful countermeasures, NeuroLinguistic programming, and brain-washing techniques by the CIA and the Army
Chemical Corps.116 The primary objective of these groups of projects was outlined in a
memorandum dated January 1952 that ominously asked: "Can we get control of an
individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against
fundamental laws of nature such as self preservation?"117 Commenting on this subject
editorially in the New York Times:
We are not sufficiently schooled in ethics to know how this differs from murder...'The
means as well as the end were outrageous. It added that none know how many citizens
were used as guinea pigs and how many were directly harmed.118
The CIA’s Project Monarch was born out of the German Nazi program of
experimentation and selective breeding of Aryan bloodlines program called Lebensborn,
and the mind-control
Marionette program,
both under
the control
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 61
of General Heinrich Himmler. Officers of the were given privileged access to harems
stocked with blonde hair, blue-eyed German women, full-time breeders, to impregnate
with the children becoming the property of the State. The goal of the Lebensborn was to
create an Aryan super-race of fanatically loyal Nazi programmed super-men for the
future Third Reich. In Monarch training, several of the barbaric and inhumane mind
control experiments involved child research subjects as young as 2-3 years old being
subjected to extreme violence, animal torture and mutilation, sexual abuse and torture,
and trauma-based creation of multiple personalities (Dissociative Identity Disorder),
called “alters.”119 Often, to complete the mental compartmentalization of the specific
trauma event, painful electric shock was applied to the victim. The cumulative and
overarching goal of these programs was to create human robotic “Manchurian
Candidate” assassins, spies, perfect soldiers, drug “mules,” and sexual blackmailers. The
extreme abuse of trauma based mind control creates amnesiac barriers with each
mentally walled off or compartmentalized segment having a distinct personality.
Such alters could be manifested by predetermined “trigger” words, phrases, sounds, or
gestures. Some Monarch survivors and deprogrammed individuals have come forward
after having had their programming reversed and have successfully sued their abusers,
called handlers.120 The great Hunter S. Thompson, the inventor of gonzo journalism, the
icon and rebel hero of the beat and counter-culture movements of the 1960’s-1970’s,
explored and reported on the vast bizarre underground of America, who among his
many trademark slogans was “it never got weird enough for me,” made a veiled reference
to the abduction of children for sacrificial purposes and for mind control, and sex-slave
programming when he wrote in his last book before he died (or professionally
“suicided?”),
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 62
The autumn months are never a calm time in America…Autumn is a very strange
Traditional period, a period of strong Rituals and the celebrating of strange annual
holidays like Halloween and Satanism and the fateful Harvest Moon, which can have
ominous implications for some people. There is always a rash of kidnappings and
abductions of school children in the football months. Preteens of both sexes are
traditionally seized and grabbed off the streets by gangs of organized perverts who
traditionally give them as Christmas gifts to each other to be personal sex slaves and
playthings. Most of these things are obviously Wrong and Evil and Ugly – but at least they
are Traditional. They will happen.121
The CIA, under the direction of Allen Dulles and later by Richard Helms, literally
combed the hidden jungles of the world looking for exotic and undiscovered drugs from
both botanical and fauna sources and through a pharmacopeia of current and known
drugs and chemicals as well as new drugs formulated by secretly contracted
pharmaceutical companies or universities.122 These CIA mind-control operations were
carried out with the participation of a least 185 scientists and at least 80 American
institutions, including prisons, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and 44 medical
colleges and universities. Many of America’s most prestigious institutes of medical
research had also cooperated with the CIA, as well as numerous big name
corporations.123
In an article published in the April 1971, issue of Science Digest, Prof. George
Estabrooks, a U.S. military intelligence expert, discussed applied techniques in Forced
Hypnosis developed by the Rand Corporation in the memorandum “Inducing Hypnosis
Against a Person’s Will.”124 Estabrooks boasted of splitting the personality of what he
describes as a “vulnerable” U.S. Marine Lieutenant during WWII. He named these
personalities “Jones A” and “Jones B.” Jones A was programmed to become a
communist and was given a dishonorable discharge by the Marine Corps to unknowingly
infiltrate communist cells to the extent he became a card carrying party member. At the
same
time,
Jones
B,
the
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 63
deeper personality became the silent controller who knew what was really going on but
had been programmed to remain silent but watchful and able, under hypnosis, to report
back the experiences of Jones A – the “created” communist. This obviously was without
the consent or knowledge of Lt. “Jones.” Estabrook described the use of hypnosis in
military applications as “dangerous,” “nightmarish,” and not very “tidy.” Estabrook’s
ethics were clearly of the Machiavellian “ends justify the means” sort; to make an omelet,
you must break a few eggs. Estabrooks felt that government sanction of the process
would relieve the hypnotist of personal responsibility. “Any accidents that might occur
during the experiments will simply be charged to profit and loss”, he wrote, “a very
trifling portion of the enormous wastage in human life which is part and parcel of war.”
Building upon decades of preliminary work in the study of human breaking points and
control by the Tavistock Institute in London, Himmler’s Lebensborn and Marionette
projects, and Mengele’s studies in Auschwitz, some of the known unorthodox techniques
of “beneficial brainwashing” using high-tech sound and feedback continuous loop
playback of audio messages and other unorthodox techniques by notorious doctors such
as Dr. Ewen Cameron125 of the Allen Memorial Institute at McGill University in Canada
(founder of the American Psychiatry Association) and Dr. Sydney Gottlieb of the CIA,
and also through their hired experimenters in various Universities, clinics and in the
pharmaceutical industry, included:
1. Surreptitious drugging with toxins, hallucinogenic and psychotropic drugs such
as LSD, mescaline derivatives, super-concentrations of cannabis extracts, and
psilocybin
2. Sleep deprivation, drug-induced comas, the infamous “Sleep Room” therapy of
forced and extended sleep of up to several months of continuous sleep.
3. Sensory deprivation, “psychic driving,” “depatterning.”
4. Repetitive rounds of Page-Russell electro-shock treatments, electro-convulsive
treatments.
5. Pre-frontal surgical lobotomies and chemical lobotomies.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 64
6. Hypnosis and other methods designed to interrogate, program or deprogram an
individual.126
"The frequent screams of patients that echoed through the hospital did not deter
Cameron or most of his associates in their attempts to 'depattern' [erase the minds of]
their subjects completely." This shocking level of unethical patient disregard shouldn’t
come as a huge surprise; this kind of far-reaching research is what should reasonably be
expected when one collaborates with Nazi war criminals and concentration camp human
experimenters. Other sub-projects included formulating plans for contaminating a city’s
water supply with LSD and chlorine-immune variant of LSD were also clandestinely
developed.127 Self-experimentation of LSD by the CIA staff involved may have corrupted
moral controls and reservations on unwitting human subjects, and revealed concerns
that the administering staff had become “unhinged.”128
As these experiments were often conducted on unwitting subjects, or with severely
limited informed consent, they constitute a violation of the Nuremberg Code of medical
conduct that was devised in 1948 after the prosecution of Nazi medical doctors for war
crimes and crimes against humanity. Many of the victims of MK-ULTRA and the subprojects were able to successfully sue the CIA and also the Canadian government for
their involvement in these heinous studies and each received $100,000 settlements,129
such as the surviving family of the MK-ULTRA and “suicided” victim Frank Olson,130
and the case of ritualized abuse and nation-wide Franklin Cover-up paedophilia ring
victim Paul Bonacci who won a $1 million judgment against his tormenters.131 Other

Another aspect of the extensive CIA sponsored mind control experiments were studies
done on animals and also possibly on humans involving direct implantation of electrodes
and other circuitry into the brain and effecting remote control with electric stimulus,
with an eye for a wider future use in human subjects.132 The known files on MK-ULTRA
subproject 94, dated 22 November 1961 describe the goals:
Miniaturized stimulating electrode implants in specific brain center areas will be utilized.
The feasibility of remote control of activities in several species of animals has been
demonstrated. The present investigations are directed toward improvement of techniques
and will provide precise mapping of the useful brain centers. The ultimate objective of this
research is to provide an understanding of the mechanisms involved in the directional
control of animals and to provide practical systems suitable for (section deleted –
‘human’?) application.133
Dr. Jose Delgado, a Yale Medical School and CIA funded researcher doing work in
remote control applications of mind control stated, "We need a program of
psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the
mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated
[lobotomized]. Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal
orientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain. Some day armies
and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain."134
Think about that statement, “psychosurgery” for political control of our society is a
sanitized description for brainwashing, behavior modification, and mind control. Can
anyone claim that Nazi attitudes of control and eugenics did not pollute the American
intelligence and scientific industries? Those technologies could easily be expanded to
widespread civilian application, if they could do it Studies with YOU in mind - You don't really

with the military, including even up to the rank of generals, why stop there? The
scientists at NASA put chimpanzees into space before they sent man, is it the same order
with brain implant and control technology?
Dr. Delgado experimented with implants in animals and in a successful demonstration,
controlled an implanted bull as a matador.135 His device, called a Stimoceiver, was a
miniature electrode capable of receiving and transmitting FM radio signals, and could be
installed in a patient/victims cranium Delgado confirmed this line of reasoning when he
stated
in 1966 that his experiments: “support the distasteful conclusion that motion, emotion
and behavior can be directed by electrical forces and that humans can be controlled like
robots by push buttons.”136 That was in 1966, when electronics and miniaturization was
in its infancy. It begs the question, what do they have now? Perhaps we have already
been offered glimpses into a possible future through science-fiction movies.
In the March 2005 issue of Wired Magazine, author Richard Martin in an article simply
titled “Mind Control,”137 gives an eye-opening glimpse into the near-future of what is
presently under rapid development in the field of man-machine interfaces, and it is
literally something right out of the 1999 sci-fi movie The Matrix, and much like the
language of the Star Trek cybernetic super-nemesis the Borg, the scientists working on
these implantable devices marvel at the ability of the human brain to “assimilate” the
machine.138 Dr. Delgado's experiment with radio controlled bull with receiver implant. Implanted with

There has also been whispered talk of using brain-computer interfaces to stifle antisocial
tendencies and "program" acceptable behavior, which isn’t too far to extend to societal
control, depending on who is doing the programming. Also consider, if this is the kind of
result that benevolent and altruistic scientists are achieving working with paraplegics
and the disabled, think to what level of technology and study results have been attained
clandestinely by the type of malevolent people capable of planning and implementing
MK-ULTRA and with black budgets in the billions of dollars. An obscure U.S.
government report in 2002 indicates that within the next 20 years, it is desired that
humanity either evolve or be technologically assisted into reaching a “hive mind.” It
makes the science fiction plot devices of cybernetic implants of movies like The Matrix
just a bit less fiction and more as technically achievable and inevitable. It states:
A draft government report says we will alter human evolution within 20 years by
combining what we know of nanotechnology, biotechnology, IT and cognitive sciences.
[…] Leading to telepathy, machine-to-human communication amplified personal sensory
devices and enhanced intellectual capacity. People may download their consciousnesses
into computers or other bodies even on the other side of the solar system, or participate in
a giant "hive mind", a network of intelligences connected through ultra-fast
communications networks. "With knowledge no longer encapsulated in individuals, the
distinction between individuals and the entirety of humanity would blur," the report says.
"Think Vulcan mind-meld. We would perhaps become more of a hive mind - an
enormous, single, intelligent entity.139
The horrific and sometimes fatal experiments for development of effective methods of
menticide actually resulted in the Congressional Church Hearings in 1977 after the
“accidental” disclosure of thousands of secret documents that survived an order of
shredding or incinerator destruction from CIA Director Richard Helms, who wanted to
avoid any possible “embarrassment” to the Company140 The full scale of these
experiments is likely to remain unknown due Brain Interface and Spinal Sensory Input Nodes
from
The

Matrix
to the destruction of documents, save those that were secreted away. Miles Copeland, a
former CIA officer of some rank, said, “The congressional sub-committee which went
into this got only the barest glimpse.”141 According to the Senate Intelligence
Subcommittee in 1977 investigating the CIA’s MK-ULTRA program:
The research and development program, and particularly the covert testing programs,
resulted in massive abridgements of the rights of American citizens, sometimes with tragic
consequences. The deaths of two Americans can be attributed to these programs; other
participants in the testing programs may still suffer from the residual effects. While some
controlled testing of these subjects might be defended, the nature of the tests, their scale,
and the fact that they were continued for years after the danger of surreptitious
administration of LSD to unwitting individuals was known, demonstrate a fundamental
disregard for the value of human life.142
The technologies that have been described are probably just the tip of the iceberg. It
would be foolishly naïve to assume that these types of experiments ended with the
Congressional disclosure, or to underestimate what kind of technological advances in
mind control in the areas of microwave and radio transmission, miniaturization of brain
implants, nanotechnology, ultra-sonic frequency transmissions, electromagnetic,
chemical incompacitants, behavioral science, and drug discovery manufacture have been
made since the 1960s-70s. Other bizarre research areas included experiments in the
fields of psionic warfare, remote viewing, and other parapsychology phenomenon.
Colonel Michael Acquino, of the U.S. Army Psychological Warfare unit writing in From
PSYOP to Mindwar says,
Mindwar should take full advantage of such phenomena as atmospheric electromagnetic
activity, air ionization, and extremely low frequency (ELF) waves…Infrasound vibration
(up to 20 Hz) can subliminally influence brain Miniature brain implant Brain Implants to
control human behavior - to domesticate a compliant and obedient robotic worker?

activity to align itself to delta, theta, alpha, or beta wave patterns, inclining an audience
toward everything from alertness to passivity. Infrasound can be used tactically, as ELFwaves endure for great distances; and it could be used in conjunction with media
broadcasts as well.143
The information about MK-ULTRA came about only by accident, and after countless
unknown Freedom of Information inquiries. The material gathered by tireless and highly
determined individuals indicates quite succinctly that we are beyond the realm of science
fiction.144
The MK-ULTRA research was born out of the work by inhuman Nazi human
experimenters and imported the fruits of their evil projects into the U.S. where over 750
top Nazi scientists worked for, and further cultivated, their hideous research for the
benefit of the U.S. government in return for protection from the Nuremberg judgments
and post-war Nazi hunters. Their work found sympathetic benefactors within the U.S.
government, intelligence community, and the military industrial complex to be able to
receive massive covert funding, covert facilities, and supplied of unwitting people for
these experiments to be carried out. If you think they don’t have plans for you, can you
be so sure about your children? It only takes a little imagination and some moderate
extrapolation of these fantastic and powerful technologies to determine that if these fell
into the hands of unscrupulous men, or a demagogue and subsequently abused, then a
scientific dictatorship to rival or exceed anything from the past would be in danger of
arising. MK-ULTRA researcher Dr. Ewen Cameron gives warning to those that would
listen:
It is not simply against future conspiracies of evil men which we have to guard ourselves
but it is against ourselves, against weaknesses and faults in our own social order, in our
own ways of living against which we have to be on continual guard.145 Electronic human

Chemical Weapons & Experimental Vaccines on U.S. Troops.
During the first Gulf War, Desert Storm, U.S. and coalition troops were exposed to
downwind chemical and biological weapons debris such as the nerve agents: sarin,
cyclosarin, tabun, and blister agents such as lewisite and sulpher-mustard agents from
coalition air attacks and from intentional Iraqi depot destruction. The U.S. Department
of Defense (DOD) acknowledges that up to 101,000 U.S. troops were also exposed to a
nightmare mixture of blister, nerve agent chemicals and biological agents from the U.S.
destruction of Saddam’s biological and chemical weapons facility at Khamisiyah,146 and
at 23 other Iraqi depots. The Iraqis were known to follow Soviet chemical warfare
doctrine and as a result, their chemical weapons were usually combinations, or
“cocktails,” of toxins to increase their effectiveness.147 The same report also indicates
that not all exposed troops are being informed of their potential exposure. In addition to
the Russian, British, Jordanian chemical and biological weapons found there at the
Khamisiyah depot, American weapons were also discovered and hurriedly destroyed to
hide evidence of the U.S. pre-war involvement in arming Iraq with illegal weapons that
may have been instrumental in the attacks on Shiite Muslims and also ethnic Kurds.
Chemical agent detection alarms in the Gulf War 1 theatre of operations were very
frequent. According to the 1994 Reigle Report, alarms occurred for up to 14,000
detection devices 3 times a day (42,000 total alarms per incident), for chemical weapons
detection in Desert Storm, and all of the alarms were dismissed by the DOD as
malfunctions, user reading errors or false alarms.148 Furthermore, according to the
Reigle report, the detectors employed by coalition troops and positioned at bases were
discovered to be calibrated under-sensitive to the agents in question by 1000 times;
meaning that the detectors would not alert in the presence of dangerous agents unless
they
reached
a
threshold
that

chemical agents were still very capable of inflicting harm at levels 1000 times below the
device detection range.149
Experimental vaccines, such as a controversial anthrax vaccine and an injectable nerve
gas antidote, were also administered or distributed to soldiers, many without prior
human testing.150 In fact, hidden from view from most servicemen, Executive Order
13139, signed by President Clinton in 1999, allows the government to waive informed
consent for medical experimentation and administer FDA untested, unapproved
vaccination programs.151 This application of EO13139 can be done at any time at the
request of the Secretary of Defense. The military doesn’t have to tell you what
medication, experimental or otherwise, it’s giving you by Executive Order.
Depleted Uranium – Death by Slow Burn.
The official numbers of soldiers and servicemen who served in Iraq during Operations
Desert Shield and Desert Storm was 697,000 troops. Of those, the Department of
Defense has now classified 250,000 permanently disabled to some degree on
incapacitation. Operation Desert Storm was only a 100 hour war. After Desert Storm, an
estimated 425,000 veterans have reported multiple illnesses and medical problems
related to Gulf War Syndrome, and over 11,000 U.S. troops have died from mysteriouslycaused illnesses and cancers since returning home from Desert Storm. The Dept of
Defense and the U.S. Veteran’s Administration continues to deny a linkage and
stonewalls investigations into the cause. What other explanation can there be for a
conflict that only lasted 100 hours on the ground that leaves this many casualties and
medical anomalies? Severe birth deformity child born to a U.S. Desert Storm veteran

The grossly misleading and misnamed 'depleted' uranium is the by product left behind
after enriched uranium is separated from natural uranium in order to produce fuel for
nuclear reactors. During this process, the fissionable isotope uranium-235 is separated
from uranium. The remaining uranium, which is 99.8% uranium-238, is misleadingly
called 'depleted uranium'.152 While the term 'depleted' implies it isn't particularly
dangerous, in fact, this waste product of the nuclear industry is 'conveniently' disposed
of by producing deadly weapons.
Depleted uranium is chemically toxic. It is an extremely dense, hard metal, and can
cause chemical poisoning to the body in the same way as can lead or any other heavy
metal. However, compounding the heavy metal toxicity, depleted uranium is also
radiologically hazardous. As it spontaneously burns on firing, and especially on impact,
it creates tiny micron-sized aerosolized radioactive glass particles which are small
enough to be inhaled into the lungs and nasal cavity even through the barriers of a
protective gas mask. These uranium oxide particles emit all types of radiation, alpha,
beta and gamma, and can be carried in the air over long distances through the vast
sandstorms that occur in Iraq and the Middle East. Depleted uranium has a half life of
4.5 billion years, and the presence of depleted uranium ceramic aerosols can pose a long
term threat to human health and the environment. Depleted uranium use in the
battlefield is a weapon of mass destruction and is banned under international law as it is
an indiscriminate weapon that affects combatants and non-combatants, enemy targets
and blowback on friendly forces, as it travels thousands of miles on the wind. U.S. depleted

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 73
As early as 1943, plans were being drawn up to utilize radioactive waste as a possible
weapon for use on the battlefield. The classified top-secret Groves Memorandum,
declassified on June 5, 1994 specifically mentions the usage of uranium for use as a
versatile gas weapon. According to the Groves Memorandum:
As a gas warfare instrument, the material would be ground into particles of microscopic
size and would be distributed in the form of a dust or smoke or dissolved in liquid, by
ground-fired projectiles, land vehicles, airplanes, or aerial bombs. In this form, it would
be inhaled by personnel. The amounts necessary to cause death to a person inhaling the
material is extremely small. An infinitesimal amount accumulating in a person’s body
would be fatal in a few days to weeks depending upon the amount absorbed and its
radioactivity. There are no known effective methods of treatment for such a casualty...It
can be distributed in a dust or powder so finely powdered that it will permeate a standard
gas mask filter in quantities.153
Tens of thousands U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi’s are being
exposed continually to heavy metal poisoning and depleted uranium waste radiation and
its residual DNA damage.154 This radiation exposure is resulting in massive rates of truly
horrifying birth defects in Iraqi newborn children, Gulf War Syndrome155
symptomology, cancers, leukemia’s, and other future side-effects yet to be seen in both
soldiers and civilians.156 In Baghdad alone, the birth defect and deformity rate is 3-5
times higher than normal. The birth defects and deformities, for example, from extreme
hydrocephalus, are particularly horrifying and for reasons of reader sensitivity I have
included only a few images of them here, but they are widely available online.157 The
genetic damage from the ionizing radiation of depleted uranium to fetus DNA, or upon

Orange, a chemical that was at one time erroneously (or expediently) deemed safe for
use by the U.S. government and by Monsanto and DOW chemical, use upon generations
of Vietnamese, and also upon U.S. servicemen who served in areas of application of the
dioxin-laden defoliants in the Vietnam War.
The infants suffering from this genetic damage scarcely resemble human beings and they
will disturb and haunt you. The most common question among parents of newborns in
Iraq is not “is it a boy or a girl?” instead it is now “is it normal?” Not only are these
deformities affecting Iraqi parents, children of U.S. soldiers are also experiencing higher
than normal deformity rates. Nuclear weapons scientist Leuren Moret, a scientist
formerly of the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab in California, stated the horrible impact
upon the unborn of these radioactive and toxic weapons:
Right after the first Gulf war maybe one or two babies a day were being born with defects.
Now it's seven, eight, nine, ten babies a day who are born without heads, without limbs,
horrible tumors. Just lumps of jelly." She rightly declares, "It's a nightmare!"158
Warheads and munitions with depleted uranium components are turned into a fine dust
after impacting their targets, or the ground.159 The radioactive dust then contaminates
and is tenaciously persistent with all that it comes into contact with. Innocent and
unwary Iraqi children are contaminated when playing with spent shell casings or on or
near destroyed and abandoned military equipment. Soldiers clothing, personal
equipment, and living quarters are contaminated from the DU dust. It may even be
brought back home unbeknownst within their gear, even contaminating family members
through close Iraqi Children playing in destroyed tank killed by DU weapons
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 75
contact and from intimate relations.160 Uranium dust particulate filled air is breathed
into the lungs, contaminated food is ingested, and open wounds are another vector into
the body susceptible to DU penetration, and it is permanently absorbed into the body.
Consider this, one of the most commonly described scenarios for another terrorists
attack is to set off a “dirty bomb” device, defined as a weapon that explodes and
disperses radioactive debris. It is considered WMD. Such an attack it would immediately
cause FEMA and other agencies to respond with decontamination units and the victims
would be at a higher risk for developing cancer related diseases, and would likely lead to
an application of a localized martial law. Is there really any meaningful difference
between the situations?
Protective clothing or gear capable of protecting against depleted uranium exposure is
not the norm in Iraq, there is a shortage of body armor, let alone resources and gear for
DU clean-up for all of our soldiers deployed in those hot zones. MOPPS suits, the
chemical warfare protection suit is limited to short term effectiveness after opening,
making it unwieldy in regular operations, and do not protect long term. The U.S. and
coalition troops have also not been properly warned or trained to deal with depleted
uranium exposure, and the effects of DU have been minimized in what instruction and
training that has been given.161
In both Operations Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, depleted uranium
munitions were used directly in the Afghani and Iraqi cities, amidst civilian populations,
and eventually, U.S. troops occupied Saddam’s palace’s and slept in the same areas they
had just previously bombed.162 Military vehicles returning from Iraq to the U.S. are
subjected to a thorough decontamination process, and higher ranking officers are
rotated out of Iraq on a more Depleted uranium “shock and awe” in downtown Baghdad
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 76
frequent basis than the average soldier. Furthermore, Iraq is a very arid country and
suffers from lengthy and wide ranging sandstorms which serve to circulate the depleted
uranium debris from the battlefields from the first Gulf War to the present, and from the
“hot zones” to the cities and bases. There is no escape from it. Currently, the U.S. is
fielding troops for second and third tours of duty in these radioactive zones. I wonder
why high ranking officials and generals are rotated out more frequently of the Iraqi
theater than the front-line soldiers are? Perhaps they know that they are being
constantly irradiated and don’t want radiation sicknesses and DNA genetic damage.
According to the jaw-dropping 2005 documentary film DU: Beyond Treason,163 over
2700 tons of depleted uranium munitions have been used in Iraq between the time of
operations in Desert Shield and Desert Storm and also during the ongoing Operation
Enduring Freedom. For comparison, 800 tons is equivalent to the atomicity of 41,000
Nagasaki bombs. In Iraq, three (3) times that amount has been used to create a nuclear
wasteland. There is nothing “depleted” about U-238 waste at all. Destroyed Iraqi tanks
are a radiological hazard from DU sabot round attacks and from the A-10 Warthog
Gatling-gun “penetrator” munitions. It is creating a “dead-zone” on par with the
Chernobyl reactor accident.164 The background radiation in Baghdad is roughly 5 times
the normal level – the equivalent of 3 chest X-rays per hour.165 Depleted uranium
inspector and former U.S. military, Doug Rokke says about the long term disaster for the
widespread usage of depleted uranium:
If I can detect high levels of radioactivity in the deserts of Iraq ten years after the bombing
and I can take ordinary road dust from Kosovo where children are playing 13 months after
the bombings there, then this stuff is going to stay around for a very long time to come. All
I can say is that this is a complete disaster not only for the people of Iraq but for people
who live anywhere in the world.166
Radiation detectors in Britain detected a fourfold increase in uranium levels in the
atmosphere after the shock and awe campaigns against Iraq. Within nine
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 77
days after the start of the Iraq war, air circulation patterns had carried the uranium dustdebris to several different sites in the U.K. Chris Busby, of Liverpool University states
that,
This research shows that rather than remaining near the target as claimed by the military,
depleted uranium weapons contaminate both locals and whole populations hundreds to
thousands of miles away.167
Veteran’s benefits are under constant assault and budget cuts leading to short-changing
our troops and cuts in quality and quantity for medical and psychological treatment.168 If
you don’t do anything to speak out and opposed about this radiological nightmare being
created by our government, tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of
American servicemen, will be exposed to depleted uranium, and in some research paper
thirty years in the future, they will be reduced to a minor statistical footnote that no one
really cares about, like the Atomic Soldiers or the Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent
Orange are today.
Eugenics and Secret Forced Sterilizations.
Another “dirty secret” of American history kept out of the “official” textbooks is the
origins of the genocidal theories that saw their culmination in Nazi Germany during the
Holocaust. Building upon the popularity and growth of Darwin’s theories of evolution,
“survival of the fittest,” human eugenics programs were developed and legalized in the
U.S. Recently revealed in 2005, from the early 1900s to the 1970s, some 65,000 poor,
uneducated (primarily black men and women), were sterilized in this country, many
without their knowledge, as part of a government eugenics program to keep so-called
“undesirables” from reproducing.169 This medical experimentation is “social-Darwinism”
and has a long and ugly history in the United States tentatively beginning in the 1890’s.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 78
In 1907, Indiana became the first state to legalize the forced sterilization of the poor,
“feeble-minded,” prisoners, and the mentally ill. Thirty-four other states soon followed,
and collaboration began between American and German eugenicists, with the American
legal model emulated and adopted as the blueprint for the racial cleansing laws of
German National Socialists and reaching its horrible apex of industrial efficiency in the
mass genocide in WWII.
The Rockefellers funded more than $11 million to create a eugenics research laboratory
at Cold Spring Harbor, New York, as well as eugenics studies at Harvard, Columbia, and
Cornell. The 1916 pro-eugenics film, “the Black Stork” advocated withholding medical
treatment from “defective” babies, was shown in cinema houses for the general
masses.170 Financial support was given by J.H. Kellogg, the cereal producer,171 as well as
substantial logistical, financial, and research grant support from the Rockefeller
Foundation,172 and many other well known multi-billionaire industrialists and
philanthropists such as Andrew Carnegie and Alexander Graham Bell.173 In 1922, The
Model Eugenic Sterilization Law was published by Harry Laughlin. The American
Eugenics movement was also promoted heavily in rural areas in local fairs and science
exhibits. Uneducated foreigners were also targeted for sterilization campaigns and in
one famous example, they were mocked in New York City holding signs they could not
read claiming that their ignorance was justification to be sterilized. Uneducated and poor
immigrants mockingly paid to carry signs calling for their sterilization and support of eugenics. State fairs
hold exhibits and seminars promoting eugenics and sterilization of the sick or handicapped people.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 79
The issue of compulsory sterilization even reached up to the Supreme Court in the case
of Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200 (1927) with the Court upholding Virginia’s sterilization laws
in 1927.174 In the court’s near unanimous decision, a decision which has not been
successfully challenged and reversed - and under the court’s legal principle of stare
decisis, still valid case law, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, considered one of the
Supreme Court’s leading jurists said,
It is better for the world, if instead of waiting to execute offspring for crime, or to let them
starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from
continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough
to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes…Three generations of imbeciles are enough.175
In 1931, Prescott Bush and George Walker hosted the Third International Congress of
Eugenics held at the New York Museum of Natural History (August 21-23rd, 1932).. The
purpose of the event was to call for the sterilization of fourteen million Americans.
Delegates from Germany sailed to the event on the Hamburg-Amerika shipping line, the
same shipping line seized along with Union
Banking Co. for Nazi connections, but that’s just a coincidence, nothing to worry about.
At the Nuremberg war crime trials after WW2, the prosecuted Nazi doctors attempted to
take legal refuge by citing the American example of eugenics for their barbaric acts of
depravity. Margaret Sanger, an “outstanding” proponent and supporter of eugenicists
created the Birth Control League, the forerunner to Planned Parenthood,176 to further
her goals of selective breeding, or extermination.177 Life Magazine ranked her as one of
the most important people of this century. In April 1932, she advocated giving “certain
dysgenic (inferior genetics) groups in our population their choice of segregation
(concentration camps or “colonies,”) or sterilization.”178 She appointed Lothrop
Stoddard to the board of her Birth Control League. Stoddard was a leading proponent of
eugenics, forced sterilization, and also of Adolph Hitler.179 In another of her speeches
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 80
promulgating the benefits of eugenics, she emphasizes the “breeding out of “human
weeds-the defectives.” She said,
(It) makes possible the spread of scientific knowledge of the elements of sound breeding. It makes
possible the creation of a new race; a new generation brought into this world consciously
conceived. It makes possible the breeding out of human weeds-the defective and criminal classes(and) the breeding in of the clean, strong and fit instruments to carry the torch of human destiny.180
The American eugenics movement consisted of various methods including targeted
locations for abortion clinics based on racial concentrations, selective breeding, coercive
sterilizations, surreptitious hysterectomies and castrations under false pretense, and
genetic screening. Now with the success of the DNA human genome sequencing project,
race-specific genetic weapons are possibly now under development,181 and the creation
of designer babies according to patent designs. The conservative think tank, the Project
for the New American Century wrote in a policy paper that: “Genetically targeted
weapons could change world politics for ever, and the report notes, advanced forms of
biological warfare that can target specific genotypes may transform biological warfare
from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.”182 It’s just another repackaging of
the age old pursuit of master-race. But it’s all just a coincidence, nothing to worry about.

Pesticide Studies on Humans, Prisoners, and Children.
Chemical and Pesticide Manufacturers such as Dow and Monsanto, the same companies
that developed and tested Dioxin and Agent Orange on humans, would be allowed to test
some pesticides on human volunteers when seeking government approval without
applying all the ethical safeguards recommended last year by an advisory panel, under
proposed relaxing of rules soon to be issued by the Environmental Protection Agency.183
The rules would omit some provisions urged by the National Academy of Sciences last
year that would have imposed more stringent limits on such studies. The agency would
allow the exercise of loopholes to test pesticides on humans to determine at what level
they become toxic. This could include tests on prisoners even though they might be
vulnerable to coercion. Hidden deep within the guidelines were levels of exceptions to
allow testing on abused or neglected children without parental consent, “ethically
deficient” human research if it is beneficial to “protect public health,” and if there is
more than minimal health risk to a subject if there is a “direct benefit to the child being
tested and the parents agree.184 How can any child benefit to direct exposure to
pesticides? Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) claimed in protest to the abhorrent rules:
“The EPA proposed rule on human testing has several large loopholes that undermine
the very purpose of the rule. No wonder the pesticide companies are saying such nice
things about it.”185
Coercive Experimentation on Mentally Retarded Children.
In the 1950’s, the Atomic Energy Commission funded a 30 year study, a series of

consent.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 82
and MIT researchers.186 Other less fortunate students at Fernald were selected for
special “Science Clubs” and were given radioactive injections of calcium and iron to
determine how it would affect metabolism. The letter of consent that was sent to the
parents was extremely misleading and omitted crucial information about the
experiments saying that “the children would receive a special diet in an effort to study
how the body absorbed cereals, iron and vitamins." Radioactivity was never
mentioned.187 A task force later conducted by the Massachusetts Task Force on Human
Subject Research later determined that the research, and the researchers, were
conducted “in violation of fundamental human rights” and had violated the human
rights of the students.188
These callous doctors, under government sanction and funding, demonstrated an
unprincipled willingness to abuse their power and a casual disregard to fundamental
human rights and patient care. They preyed upon the weakest of the weak, those unable
to defend themselves or even know they were being cruelly and deceitfully experimented
on. These types of experiments, and others presented in these pages, demonstrate a
sinister and rotten-to-the-core attitude among society’s elite rulers that can authorize
somehow seek comfort in extracting information of worthless or dubious medical value.
Another example of despicable and inhumane government funded tests on helpless
patients include the Willowbrook study where mentally deficient, but otherwise healthy
children were purposely ininfected stool extracts, and then dosed with refined hepatitis
virus to study vaccines and gamma globulin in amelioration or prevention protocols. In
predominantly many cases, patients were coerced into participating in order to receive
admission to the hospital care facilities.189 The weakest and least educated of society are

investigation, that the giant pharmaceutical drug company GlaxoSmithKline was
exposed giving orphans and babies as young as three months old potentially dangerous
medical experiments with HIV vaccines, including designer “cocktails” consisting of as
many as seven drugs at the Incarnation Children’s Center, a Catholic orphanage for HIV
positive children. The majority of the children forcibly enrolled were poor AfricanAmerican and Hispanic. Some of the drugs administered were AZT, nevirapine,
antiretrovirals such as didanozine, and stavudine, and are known to be highly toxic and
cause serious side effects.191

children without regard to medical ethics. For these vulnerable, poor, and “abused by the

industry, and the government that encourages and permits these abuses, were they to be

military establishment and also to the pharmaceutical industry, becoming high-paid
drug pushers. These children and the mentally vulnerable were at the mercy of monsters
of the highest order of depravity and evil, pharmaceutical prostitutes that would
manipulate, coerce, and abuse their patients, their study “property” all in order to keep

Thieme, Richard. “Real conspiracies: Operation Paperclip, which assimilated Nazis into the U.S.
establishment, shows the antecedents for labeling people of conscience enemies of the state.” National
Catholic Reporter. 3 Oct. 2003
Operation Paperclip was the name of the project that assimilated Nazi scientists into the American scientific
and intelligence establishment by obscuring their histories and short-circuiting efforts to bring their true
stories to light. The project was led by officers in the U.S. Army. Although the program officially ended in
September 1947, those officers and others carried out a conspiracy until the mid-'50s that bypassed both law
and presidential directive to keep Paperclip going. Neither Truman nor Eisenhower were informed that their
instructions were ignored, and if there is a lesson to be learned from Operation Paperclip, it is that, as Elie
Wiesel said of the Holocaust, the world can get away with it.

In 1953, the CIA, under orders from Director Alan Dulles, initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year
research program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be used for mind
control and behavior modification. Six of the subprojects involved testing the agents on unwitting human
beings. 1965) CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a capability to
manipulate human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs 1966) CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a
program to test the toxicological effects of certain drugs on humans and animals. (1967) CIA and Department
of Defense implement Project MKNAOMI, successor to MKULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and
test biological and chemical weapons. In 1972 CIA Director Richard Helms orders the destruction of
documents related to the experiments.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKULTRA>

Doctor Jose Delgado: "Man does not have the right to develop his own mind." (Congressional Record,
New York Times) These were the remarks of Dr. Jose Delgado as they appeared in the February 24, 1974
edition of the Congressional Record, No. 262E, Vol. 118. Despite Dr. Delgado's outlandish statements
before Congress, his work was financed by grants from the Office of Naval
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 97
Research, the Air Force Aero-Medical Research Laboratory, and the Public Health Foundation of Boston. Dr.
Delgado was a pioneer of the technology of Electrical Stimulation of the Brain (ESB). The New York Times ran
an article on May 17, 1965 entitled “Matador with a Radio Stops Wild Bull.” The story details Dr. Delgado's
experiments at Yale University School of Medicine and work in the field at Cordova, Spain. The New York
Times stated: "Afternoon sunlight poured over the high wooden barriers into the ring, as the brave bull bore
down on the unarmed matador, a scientist who had never faced fighting bull. But the charging animal's horn
never reached the man behind the heavy red cape. Moments before that could happen, Dr. Delgado pressed a
button on a small radio transmitter in his hand and the bull braked to a halt. Then he pressed another button
on the transmitter, and the bull obediently turned to the right and trotted away. The bull was obeying
commands in his brain that were being called forth by electrical stimulation by the radio signals to certain
regions in which fine wires had been painlessly planted the day before."
Archived copy of the NYT article can be found here:
<http://www.wanttoknow.info/delgadobullnytimes.pdf>
According to Dr. Delgado, experiments of this type have also been performed on humans. While giving a
lecture on the Brain in 1965, Dr. Delgado said, "Science has developed a new methodology for the study and
control of cerebral function in animals and humans."

Dr. Stanley Milgram’s experiments in human response to authority in the 1960’s-70's offer as much insight
today as when they were originally conducted. The experiments are best known as a series of tests performed
through Yale University, where a subject was told to administer an increasingly high level of electrical shock to
a victim (an actor) attempting to learn a series of word relationships. The experiments were all variations on a
theme: a unknowing participant (the subject-teacher) was brought to believe that s/he was participating in a
learning study. The other two main participants were a man who posed as the student (the learner) and one
who posed as the principal investigator (the authority figure). The subject-teacher was told that the learning
would occur in this way: the student would be hooked up to an electric shock generator while the teacher
would read a set of word pairs, which the student would repeat back. When the student missed one of the word
pairs, he would be shocked by the "teacher" in increasingly higher shocks (the shocks increased in 15 volt
increments), up to 450 volts (which was marked, along with the 435 volt mark, with XXX). Drawing the
subjects for his experiment from a varied cross-section of contemporary American society, they were men,
women, college educated or high school graduates, white and blue collar workers from every possible
background. Milgram shows what "normal" people are capable of doing when they can justify their actions or
deny responsibility. The frightening results showed the majority of subjects, at the bequest of the authority
involved, applied the maximum voltage despite the begging and pleading of the victim to stop the test (the
victim being an actor pretending to be shocked). Most subjects shocked the actor past maximum voltage, to
lethal doses; they "killed" the actor, or would have killed if the experiment was "real." With the exception of
one single person, all the subjects obeyed each and every order issued by the authority figure no matter how
brutal, many explaining that in real life they would never be able to do what they were in point of fact in the
middle of doing. The one person who refused to participate did so because of what he had observed in Nazi
Germany. That so many people willingly and in some cases eagerly inflicted nothing less than torture on others
is unsettling, to be sure. More unsettling still is that the person who refused did so on the basis of acquired, as
opposed to innate, values.

Niccòlo Machiavelli, The Prince, the "end justifies the means" It should be noted however, that this quote is
actually an incorrect translation of The Prince. The passage in question is more accurately translated as "In the
actions of all men, and especially of princes who are not subject to a court of appeal, we must always look to
the end. Let a prince, therefore, win victories and uphold his state; his methods will always be considered
worthy, and everyone will praise them, because the masses are always impressed by the superficial appearance
of things, and by the outcome of an enterprise.

Danger Approaches
At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify
against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step over the ocean, and
crush us at a blow? Never! -- All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all
the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a
commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue
Ridge, in a trial of a Thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be
expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from
abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of
freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Operation Northwoods – The 9/11 Playbook.
In 1962, just prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis and with Cold War tensions between the
U.S. and the Soviet Union heightening, the US military, with the authorization of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), and under the command of Army General Lyman L.
Lemnitzer, insanely devised Top Secret, special handling plans to bring the U.S. into war
with Cuba, code named Operation Northwoods.1 The United States government actually
devised the plans, and CONSPIRED to justify attacking and killing its own assets and
citizens to drag us into a falsely blamed war with Cuba. Does this method look and sound
familiar to you yet? Among the evil laundry list of mechanisms to trigger the desired
conflict were plans to:
1. Stage terror attacks in major US cities such as Washington, D.C., and Miami.
2. Perform assassinations of Cuban émigrés,
3. Sabotage, sink refugee ships,
4. Stage hijackings and/or aircraft destruction through remote detonation or
shoot-downs.
5. Blowup remote controlled airliners packed with U.S. citizens.
6. stage attacks upon U.S. military assets like the sinking a of US warship in port,
bragging how it would be similar to what was done to the battleship Maine in
Havana Harbor before the Spanish American War.
JCS Army General Lyman Lemnitzer
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 104
7. To make use of a possible disaster with Mercury Astronaut John Glenn’s orbital
mission launch by faking or manufacturing the necessary evidence to implicate
Cuba and Fidel Castro.
8. Publish lists of fatalities in national newspapers to spark a wave of public
indignation and anger.
These combinations of triggers were to be used all to trick the US public into vengefully
fury to demand a war with Cuba and also confirm to the American public the
malevolency of Communism. Do you see a pattern, a government modus operandi yet?
Connect the dots for yourself. Operation Northwoods is literally the playbook for 9/11.
This strategy is another classic example of the Hegelian Dialectic, problem-reactionsolution being attempted to bring the U.S. into military conflict and to deceive the
American public into supporting a war they previously no interest for. Fortunately for
the American people President Kennedy quashed this heinous plan and retired the
General shortly afterwards. One year later, Kennedy was dead from a frontal head shot
of an assassin’s[s] ‘Magic Bullet’ at Dealey Plaza. This plan speaks volumes about the
criminal and utterly diabolical mindset that certain cadres of military leadership were
already planning events in those Dr. Strangelove terms and was able to advance them all
the way to the level of the Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara. It also uniquely
foreshadows the tragic events of 9/11 that go beyond just a haunting ring of coincidence.
President Kennedy made a veiled reference in a speech just after the Cuban Missile
Crisis at American University of his concern that there was a group with a “collective
death wish for the world.”2 James Bamford, a highly respected investigative historian,
and also a former producer and reporter for ABC News, disclosed the long-lost
documents of Operation Northwoods in his book Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the UltraSecret National Security Agency, also spoke in an interview that there was a worry that
the highest echelons of military leadership had lost their collective minds,
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 105
The Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved plans for what may be the most corrupt
plan ever created by the U.S. government. Although no one in Congress could have known
at the time, Lemnitzer and the Joint Chiefs had quietly slipped over the edge. There really
was a worry at the time about the military going off crazy and they did, but they never
succeeded, but it wasn't for lack of trying.3
Operation Gladio and P2OG: False Flag Terrorism.
Operation Gladio was the decades long terror campaign orchestrated by the CIA, British
MI6 Intelligence, and other NATO forces, and was later reorganized as P2OG, which is
the acronym for Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group.4 Many operations were
conducted that targeted innocent women and children civilians to raise public furor over
the falsely blamed parties and to demonize the designated enemies. Many of the original
Gladio operatives were former German Nazi troops and officers.5 These small-unit
military cells moved beyond just the planning or training stages of false flag black
operations, as seen in Operation Northwoods, but were actually implemented by socalled “Left Behind”6 forces to stage assassinations, electoral sabotage, political
repression, and bombing terror-attacks located in France, West Germany, Italy,7
Belgium, Spain, and across Eastern Europe.8
These types of false-flag terror attacks by allied forces have already been uncovered, but
remain unreported by the mainstream media. In September 2005, two British SAS
special force soldiers were captured by Iraqi police with Arab disguises, heavily armed,
possessing explosives, and in a covert action after driving at and shooting at allied Iraqi
police.9 The situation became so intense that British Army tanks and armored vehicles
were called in to rescue the pair from further interrogation by demolishing the police
station that the pair were held in, and then they too came under attack from local
enraged citizens, managing to disable on armored personnel carrier. The British
government, in an act of admission, has apologized for the incident and is making
reparations to the Basra local government and citizens.10 In October 2005, it was
reported that two American’s, in Arab dress in Iraq were arrested after apparently
attempted
to
set
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 106
off a car bomb in a residential area of Baghdad.11 These are classic examples of false-flag
P2OG operations.
The U.S. Army field manual FM-3031B12 details methods for conducting a terror
campaign in states that do not respond to possible “communist subversion.” The P2OG
agitation and provocateur teams are sent in to stir up the hornets nest, create anger and
violent reactions among local populations. They intentionally provoke with acts of
violence designed to encourage the terrorist/insurgent cells into committing to a
responding attack. Then, when the populations react, the governments that sent the
P2OG can point to them and label them terrorists and take even harsher and repressive
public actions against them. Researcher Chris Floyd speaks on P2OG:
"Let's say this plainly, clearly and soberly, so that no one can mistake the intention of
Rumsfeld’s plan - the United States government is planning to use `cover and deception'
and secret military operations to provoke murderous terrorist attacks on innocent people.
Let's say it again: Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, and the other
members of the unelected regime in Washington plan to deliberately foment the murder
of innocent people - your family, your friends, your lovers, you - in order to further their
geopolitical ambitions. They will plot "imaginary terror attacks' on the U.S. and then
thwart them, "...reassuring you that they will protect you by taking your rights away.13
Former Gladio operative, Vincenzo Vinciguerra, gave the following sworn testimony at
trial regarding the Gladio methods of persuasion:
You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown
people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force ... the
public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.14
In May of 2002, a U.S. Army soldier from nearby Ft. Stewart, was caught and arrested
speeding away by an attentive local officer after placing explosives underneath a
Jacksonville, FL power line cable near a power station.15 The culprit, Army Specialist
Derek Peterson, was arrested with possession of gear typical for a covert operation: black
camouflage
clothing,

kneepads, and heavy armed for an alleged “recon drill.” If this was a lone right-wing nut,
a Timothy McVeigh-type bomber, engaging in home-grown terror, he would have been
dragged before the courts openly and publicly displayed to the nation, and tried. Instead,
he has had secret, closed hearings and has remained off the attention of the media – and
hidden from the public. Why? Unless he was actually acting under orders to create falseflag terror attacks to cast blame upon middle-eastern scapegoats, ala an Operation
Northwood’s scenario. Compare the treatment he received after being caught planting
explosives with that of Jose Padilla.
Luke Skywalker: It looks like the Sandpeople did this alright. Look there's gaffe sticks,
Bantha tracks. It's just that I’ve never heard of them hitting anything this big before.
Obi Wan Kenobi: They didn't. But we are meant to think they did. These tracks are side by
side, Sandpeople always ride single file, to hide their numbers…And these blast points, too
accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.
Neoconservative Empire-Building Motives - Premeditation.
The Project for a New American Century,16 a Neoconservative think tank, prepared a
policy document – a blue-print for a bloody Pax Americana - that outlined the desire for
the U.S. to exploit its sole super-power status and to secure oil and mineral resources in
the Middle East and Central Asia while denying opposing or rising world powers the
ability
to
interfere.
The
Neocons
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 108
knew however, that this new set of aggressive goals would be a hard sell to the American
people. They specifically foresaw, and addressed a need for, a new Pearl Harbor to create
a desire in the public and the Congress as a focusing event to justify a massive increase in
the defense budget and a foreign policy agenda to establish control in the Middle East:
A transformation strategy that solely pursued capabilities for projecting force from the
United States, for example, and sacrificed forward basing and presence, would be at odds
with larger American policy goals and would trouble American allies. Further, the process
of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent
some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.17 [My emphasis]
This kind of language is reminiscent of the Nazi World View Warfare, termed
Weltanschauungskrieg propaganda.18 This provocative statement by the architects of
the Neocons didn’t even raise the eyebrows of the 9/11 Commission, or any other official
government investigator in the FBI or the CIA. Others closely
affiliated with the PNAC made statements that the 9/11 attacks created “opportunities”
for the U.S. Former Senator Gary Hart, (D-CO) a co-chairman on
the Council on Foreign Relations stated just after the attacks: “There is a chance for the
President of the United States to use the disaster…to carry out what his father - a phrase
his father used I think only once, and it hasn't been used since – and that is a New World
Order.” Another leader, former Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu claimed a
benefit from the attacks when he was asked what the 9/11 attacks meant for US/Israeli
relations. Netanyahu replied: "It's very good." Then Netanyahu added: "Well, not very
good, but it will generate immediate sympathy."19 These people were actually seeing a
“silver lining” in the deaths of 3000 people and the massive destruction.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, (former National Security Advisor to President Carter and also a
Council of Foreign Relations member) in an amazing feat of prophesy also wrote in his
book, The Grand Chessboard that only another Pearl Harbor could con the U.S. public
into
accepting
an
invasion
of
Central
Asia:
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 109
The attitude of the American public toward the external projection of American power has
been much more ambivalent. The public supported America's engagement in World War
II largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor…as America
becomes an increasingly multicultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a
consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstances of a truly massive and
widely perceived direct external threat. Such a consensus generally existed during World
War II and even during the Cold War...In the absence of a comparable external challenge,
American society may find it much more difficult to reach agreement regarding foreign
policies that cannot be directly related to central beliefs and widely shared cultural-ethnic
sympathies and that still require an enduring and some times costly imperial
engagement.20
Brzezinski briefly exhibits a buried contempt for the American system of government
when he also writes that “The pursuit of power and especially the economic costs and
human sacrifice that the exercise of such power often requires are not generally
congenial to democratic instincts...Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization.”21 To
pursue this course of establishing an American empire, he suggests the masses of
“unwashed” people be controlled so that they, WE, are unable to prevent their plans. He
says in total derision and in the condescending language of the elitist hubris and
philosophy of self-perceived superiority to the common person: “To put it in a
terminology that hearkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three
grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security
dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the
barbarians from coming together.”
That kind of demeaning language “tributaries, vassals, and barbarians,” and attitude
very clearly establishes a psychological mindset and gives clues to motive, at the least a
strong and highly suspicious desire by the Neocon’s for a Pearl Harbor-type event. They
were frothing at the mouth, chomping on the bit for something like this to happen. In
the
application
of
the
basic
investigatory
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 110
principles of cui bono to the 9/11 attacks, this kind of almost wishful language should be
given very strong scrutiny.
Let’s apply this to different hypothetical scenario removed from the emotional imagery
of the attacks of 9/11. The statements by the main think tank for the Neo-Conservative
agenda is akin to someone taking out a large multi-million dollar insurance policy on
their spouse and then making an announcement in the local newspaper that they wished
their spouse were dead or were dead so they could remarry or so they could collect on
the policy. Then, just a year later, and with amazing coincidence, convenience, and
timing, the insured person on whom the policy was created for dies in a suspicious
looking car accident with the bonus of a double indemnity benefit payoff to the
beneficiary, who stands back and claims both incompetence and ignorance at how
anyone could have foreseen the insured’s death, and the police and insurance companies
neglect to conduct a thorough and complete investigation. The PNAC document calling
for a helpful Pearl Harbor and Brzezinski’s writings for control of Middle East oil
resources have the DNA and fingerprints of 9/11 all over them. Who benefits? Who
profits?
The Neoconservatives warhawks, disciples and devotees to the Machiavellian University
of Chicago political thinker Leo Strauss, include among their influential and current
government and media members: Dick Cheney – Vice President, Donald Rumsfeld –
Secretary of Defense, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Paul Wolfowitz – Deputy Secretary of Defense,
Jeb Bush – Governor of Florida, Steve Forbes, Elliot Abrams – Special Asst. to the
President, Richard Armitage – Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Perle – Defense Policy
Advisory Board, Michael Chertoff – Dept. of Homeland Security, William Kristol, and
John Negroponte – Director of National Intelligence. They certainly got their helpful
Pearl Harbor didn’t they? Within only one year of formulating and publishing their
desires and their plans for Imperial American hegemony, the WTC towers, and the
Pentagon
were
attacked
–
almost
as
if
on
cue.22
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 111
How incredibly fortuitous for the Neocon’s that Osama bin Laden provided their needed
and much pined for pretext by orchestrating a complex terror operation out of a cave in
the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan with a laptop and a satellite phone - or did
he? Can you spot the fakery?
That's how we make our money, kind of faking things to convince everyone else it's real.
We just did some Nike commercials where half the people are digital. You wouldn't be
able to pick them out." ~ Greg Strause, the visual effects supervisor at Pixel Envy, which
worked on effects for the film Titanic.
In light of these revelations, it is time to question whether the officially attributed
sources of many of the terrorist attacks that were inflicted upon other nation-states of
the world, such as the questionable London train system bombings of 7 July 2005, were
actually done by those blamed, or were in fact, government state-sponsored terrorism.

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 116
Chapter 4: Prior Knowledge of Attacks
The CIA is Wall Street. Wall Street is the CIA. ~ Michael Ruppert
Unusual Stock Market Trades.
Immediately prior to the attacks of 9/11, there was an unusually heavy spike of 600% of
1575 put options on United Airlines, and 2,258 on United Airlines (compared to normal
orders of 390 and 220 respectively), as well as on several stocks of the major insurance
and financial tenants, such as Merrill-Lynch and Morgan Stanley in the WTC complex.1
Put options are highly leveraged bets that predict that the stock of the company will drop
in value at a future date, and are considered as very risky. Investors could have made up
to thirty times the investment, given the huge drop in values these stocks suffered.2
These high volume, put options are statistically too precisely targeted on affected 9/11
businesses to account for random chance and luck. Only insider information can allow
for such successful and strategic market bets. In fact, due to their success, the options
were never claimed by the investors because they raised so many troubling red flags after
the attack. Many of those put options were managed by the Wall Street firm
Deutschebank/AB Brown, a firm managed until 1998 by the current Executive Director
of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard.3 Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago
Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information about who made the trades
was available immediately,
We would have been aware of any unusual activity right away. It would have been
triggered by any unusual volume. There is an automated system called 'blue sheeting,' or
the CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows about. It
provides information on the trades - the name and even the Social Security number on an
account
and
these
surveillance
systems
are
set
up
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 117
specifically to look into insider trading. The system would look at the volume, and then a
real person would take over and review it, going back in time and looking at other unusual
activity.4
Real-Time Monitoring of Financial Markets.
Additionally, these types of unusual stock market transactions are capable of being, and
as a matter of procedure are, monitored in real-time by the CIA with a combination of
technologies and AI (Artificial Intelligence) wrapped under the umbrella term of
PROMIS software. Michael Ruppert, in his best selling book, Crossing the Rubicon: The
Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, describes some of PROMIS’
data tracking and predicting abilities as follows:
PROMIS stands for Prosecutor's Management Information System. The PROMISmanaged data could be anything from financial records of banking institutions to
compilations of various records used to track the movement of terrorists. This is but the
barest glimpse of what PROMIS can do. Mated with artificial intelligence it is capable of
analyzing not only an individual's, but also a community's entire life, in real time. It is also
capable of issuing warnings when irregularities appear and of predicting future
movements based upon past behavior. PROMIS holds unique abilities to track terrorists.
The software has also, according to numerous sources including Hamilton, been modified
with artificial intelligence and developed in parallel for the world's banking systems to
track money movements, stock trades and other financial dealings. In the financial arena
PROMIS is even more formidable. Not only is it capable of predicting movements in
financial markets and tracking trades in real time. It has been reported, on a number of
occasions, to have been used, via the "back door" to enter secret bank accounts, including
accounts in Switzerland and then remove the money in those accounts without being
traced.5
Quashed Financial Investigations.
These unusual spikes in the stock markets should have immediately set off red flags,
heightened the alert status of, and scrambled into action, the intelligence community of
this country measurably.6 Instead, they were ignored, or blocked and with gross
negligence. The FBI, CIA, Treasury, Secret Service, and the SEC
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 118
can easily identify who placed those put options within minutes. Why haven’t these
powerful and massively resourced agencies released this information? Someone or a
group of people with an insider’s knowledge of the pending events profited off this
tragedy, profited off the blood spilled on the sidewalks of New York, and from the
mangled wreckage and bodies of the 3000 victims slaughtered. Why is this unique group
of investors being protected and their activities prior to 9/11 covered up? Is it credible
that Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda have the ability to frustrate and quash these
investigations here in the U.S. and in other several other nations? Or, is it more likely
than not that a group within the U.S. government has incredible power to be able to
quash, suppress, block, or stymie these investigations, not only here in the United States,
but also in other countries.
There has been no meaningful Congressional inquiry, no media inquiry, no outrage; yet
we get three months of Natalie Holloway coverage from Aruba, the Michael Jackson
molestation trial, and almost two years worth of the Scott and Laci Peterson
missing/murdered mother drama and trial. That is an extraordinary and unprecedented
power to conduct a cover-up and by its sheer scope implicates the U.S government. No
other known entity has the ability and means to shut down and obfuscate these
investigations. Compare this lack of action on the 9/11 stock trades to the enthusiasm by
the government for the prosecution and imprisonment that Martha Stewart received for
her inside information tip and sale of the stock ImClone Systems to avoid a stock loss of
only $45,673.7 Where is the justice?
Tips to Privileged Individuals and Companies.
Several unbelievably fortunate individuals and tower tenants received extraordinary and
timely warnings prior to 9/11, changed their plans, and survived the attacks.8 Does AlQaeda routinely take the extra time to call these lucky individuals to warn them? Does
Al-Qaeda give warning to Israeli interests? If it wasn’t Al-Qaeda dishing out the
warnings,
then
who
was?
Why
weren’t
they
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 119
sharing that valuable warning with the WTC Towers property management and tenants,
government, the media, or more importantly, law enforcement? Why didn’t those
warned give notice to others, especially law enforcement, of the possible attacks that
they themselves held to be credible enough to act upon? The answer is that of course it
wasn’t Al-Qaeda that supplied the warnings, but someone or other group that still
wanted the buildings attacked and destroyed. Some of the many warnings included the
following:
1. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was scheduled to give a presentation to Israeli
support groups, abruptly cancelled his appearance one day before 9/11.9
2. San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown received a low-key warning 8 hours prior to his
flight to avoid flights to New York the morning of 9/11.10
3. Odigo, a start-up Instant Messaging Company (with close ties to Israel), two hours
before the attacks, workers received an anonymous text instant message warning. All
company workers in the building were evacuated and survived the attacks and the
building collapses.11 The Tel Aviv offices of Odigo are next door to the Institute for
Counter Terrorism.12
4. Salmon Rushdie, under constant Scotland Yard protection, was prevented from
flying internally in the country beginning Sept. 3, 2001.13
5. Zim American Israeli Shipping Co. broke a tenant lease WTC in the days leading up
to 9/11 and evacuated their offices on the 16th and 17th floors of the North Tower,
owing nearly $50,000 in penalties to Silverstein Properties, WTC leaseholder.14
6. Senior Pentagon officials and generals cancelled travel plans for 9/11 the night
before the attacks after receiving a particularly urgent warning.15
7. Attorney General John Ashcroft received a FBI “threat assessment” 6 six weeks
prior to 9/11 and was advised to travel only by leased private jet for the remainder of
his term.16 Ashcroft also reportedly warned members of Congress not to fly
commercial aircraft as early as August 2001, according to a statement made by
Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) in a C-SPAN interview in 2002.17

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 122
War is a Racket
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent
most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the
bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and
especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a
decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping
of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify
Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I
brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped
make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped
see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.

Chapter 5: The World Trade Center Attacks
It’s easy to imagine an infinite number of situations where the government might
legitimately give out false information. It’s an unfortunate reality that the issuance of
incomplete information and even misinformation by government may sometimes be
perceived as necessary to protect vital interests. ~ U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson,
wife Barbara was killed on 9/111
Unique Precedent.
In over 100 years of steel frame architecture, fire has never brought down, before or after
9/11, a steel high rise building. On 9/11, the government supposes for you to believe that
an unprecedented three happened on the very same day (two each within an hour of
being hit), and with fires that were considered by firefighters as manageable and by
building engineers to be very short in duration and of low intensity – cool fires,
compared to other more serious high-rise fires, such as the 1991 One Meridian Plaza in
Philadelphia, or the 2005 Windsor Building in Madrid Spain that were substantially
longer in duration and with higher intensity heat that did not lead to collapse.2
The Official U.S. Conspiracy Theory for the Collapses.
The officially accepted U.S. government conspiracy theory for the two World Trade
Center Tower collapses is centered on the fire-based causation premise that: 1) the
aircraft collisions damaged and weakened each structure, 2) that the jet fuel fed an
raging inferno that created intense high temperatures Jet fuel dramatically exploding in fireballs

building.
that further thermally weakened the already damaged steel columns (which may have
also suffered damage to their fireproofing materials) and steel floor joists which, in turn,
3) caused the structure, the columns and steel trusses to collapse upon each other, in a
massive runaway and hyper-rapid chain reaction, known as the progressive or the
“pancake” theory.3
Introductory Physics and the WTC Fires.
To understand the absurdity of the government theory that the steel framed construction
of the towers was weakened by a supposedly raging jet-fuel hydrocarbon fire, it is
necessary to have a few basic scientific facts in hand. For a much more in-depth analysis
of the shortcomings of the progressive theory, truss failure, and zipper theory collapses, I
direct your attention to the invaluable resources online, which I draw heavily on here:
<http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/fires/index.html>
Hydrocarbon based fires, which include kerosene-based aviation jet-fuel, do not burn at
temperatures high enough to sufficiently weaken the grade of steel used in the WTC
structures. The melting point of iron is 1538° C (2800° F),4 as structural steel is usually a
composition of various metals and different carbon levels; the melting point of steel
commonly used in building construction is 1510° C (2750° F). The maximum
temperature of hydrocarbon fires burning in the atmosphere without pressurization or
pre-heating (premixed fuel and air with blue flame) is about 800°C. Diffuse flames, such
as those observed in WTC-1 and WTC-2, tend to be much cooler. By means of
comparison, an oxyacetylene cutting torch, which is commonly used to cut steel beams
and girders, burns its fuel in a tightly controlled setting in a range of 3200° C to 3500° C
(5800° F to 6300° F) and is among the highest of temperatures produced by any of the
gaseous used fuels.5Government Anti-science. Have a pre-set conclusion and find - or create - the
evidence

it.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 125
Another critical factor is the length of time required for the exposed steel columns to be
continuously heated to reach beyond the failure and load bearing capacity. Typical
construction grade steel, of low to medium carbon content, is an excellent conductor of
thermal heat energy.6 Steel-framed construction, even uninsulated framing, quickly
radiates heat away through its columns and framing. The steel frame is essentially a
massive heat sink, and disperses the heat throughout the structure, and avoids intense
concentrations that would allow the heat to build up to dangerous load-weakening
levels. A short duration of intense heat will not cause a steel frame to reach red-hot or
orange glowing temperatures, which would be visible even in daylight.7 As the jet fuel left
over after the impact fireballs quickly burned off, quite rapidly in fact according to the
government’s own scientists, the heat would have diminished rapidly as well. The time
exposure from the fires was insufficient to overload the steel.
Another commonly observed factor in high rise fires is window breakage due to heat
build-up. In typical fires the temperatures needed to be reached to cause this damage is
usually around 600°C. In the World Trade Center fires, this type of damage was not
observed, excluding the immediate impact areas or the intentional breaks created by
desperate jumpers.
Minimal, Low-Intensity, and Short Duration Fires.
One of the essential basic facts of the 9/11 fires is that most of the volatile jet fuel
(essentially kerosene) from both of the 767 aircraft was burned off quickly, or consumed
immediately by the impact fireballs, one of which primarily and spectacularly erupted on
the outside of the building. The government’s own scientists admit the fires did not burn
for very long or very intensely. Dr. Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator of the Nations
Institute of WTC-2 South Tower – No raging inferno – note the survivor in the center
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 126
Standards and Technology (NIST) said, "The jet fuel probably burned out in less
than 10 minutes. And what did burn over the next hour, or hour and a half, was much
of the contents of the buildings."8 Those are the results from the governments own paid
scientists indicating that the spilled fuel of the aircraft did not long contribute to fires
observed. Additionally, from the photographic evidence, just minutes after the initial
airliner impacts, dozens of still-trapped survivors were witnessed clinging to the
openings of the impact areas, pleading for rescue, or planning to leap to their horrible
deaths below. How hot could it have been if people were able to be in the open areas of
the impact holes? Certainly not hot enough for them to grasp hold of the steel and
aluminum beams, and not hot enough or smoke-filled enough to cause them to succumb
to heat related injuries or smoke inhalation. Certainly not hot enough to be melting the
soles of their shoes on the same flooring that was supposedly heating to structural
failure, and amid an alleged 10,000 gallons of burning aviation jet-fuel, as the
government contends. The remaining fires were localized and burning themselves out
and did not spread further from their point of origin.
Most of the fuel feeding the WTC building fire’s, apart from the instigating jet fuel, was
common building and office materials, such as carpeting, paper, desks and furniture
made of wood or plastic materials, gypsum drywall, etc., and those materials tend to
burn cool and inefficient. Those are not materials known for creating and sustaining
intense long-lasting fires that can melt or weaken construction grade steel, and in the
history of high-rise steel construction, never have. Additionally, the smoke Close-up of
survivor – No intense fires Wide-angle - Main South Tower impact area – No raging or major fires
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 127
observed from the billowing out of the buildings was a dark black color characteristic of
heavy soot with a poor fuel-air mixture and thick venting patterns proves it. The dark
soot is indicative of low temperature burning fires that are heavily laden with unburned
fuel due to poor oxygenation – suffocation - of the fire. Kevin Ryan, a scientist for
Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) said that the WTC fires only reached a maximum of 250°
C (500° F), considerably below the melting point of steel, and that the particular grade of
construction steel used in the WTC frame was more than capable of handling the brief
thermal load from the fires, and he suggests an alternative method caused the collapses:
Your comments suggest that the steel was probably exposed to temperatures of only about
500° F (250° C), which is what one might expect from a thermo-dynamic analysis of the
situation. The buildings should have easily withstood the thermal stress caused by the
burning jet fuel”, he said. “If steel did soften or melt, this was certainly not due to jet fuel
fires of any kind, let alone the briefly burning fires in those towers. That fact should be of
great concern to all Americans.
We know that the steel components were certified to ASTM E119. The time temperature
curves for this standard require the samples to be exposed to temperatures around 2000°
F for several hours. And as we all agree, the steel applied met those specifications.
Additionally, I think we can all agree that even un-fireproofed steel will not melt until
reaching red-hot temperatures of nearly 3000° F. Why Dr. Brown would imply that 2000°
F would melt the high-grade steel used in those buildings makes no sense at all.
This story just does not add up. If steel from those buildings did soften or
melt, I'm sure we can all agree that this was certainly not due to jet fuel fires
of any kind, let alone the briefly burning fires in those towers. That fact
should be of great concern to all Americans. Alternatively, the contention that this
steel did fail at temperatures around 250C suggests that the majority of deaths on 9/11
were due to a safety-related failure. That suggestion should be of great concern to my
company.
There is no question that the events of 9/11 are the emotional driving force behind the
War on Terror. And the issue of the WTC collapse is at the crux of the story of
9/11. My feeling is that your metallurgical tests are at the crux of the crux of
the
crux.

happened to those buildings, and communicate this quickly, or we all face the same
destruction and despair that come from global decisions based on disinformation and
"chatter."9
Kevin Ryan was fired from his position immediately after filing that report. Apparently
Mr. Ryan did not get the official memorandum to only find and report ad hoc evidence in
confirmation of the ‘official story’ and some authority higher up didn’t like his results.
This is the classic “Galileo effect.” I suppose the world is still flat and the sun orbits the
earth too.
James Quintiere, Professor of Fire Engineering at the University of Maryland also
expresses deep reservations about the ability of jet fuel fires to cause steel core/framed
buildings to collapse in little over an hour. He writes that:
The jet fuel fires in the World Trade Center towers did not bring down those two
buildings. Indeed, the fuel burned up in minutes. Why, then, did the towers and their 44story neighbor, WTC-7, which was not struck by a plane, collapse? It's a question that
bears generally on fire safety, the safety of building occupants and firefighters and the
vulnerability of our buildings to terror by fire…High-rise buildings are required to survive
the impact of a modern commercial aircraft. Why shouldn't that include survival from the
fire that would erupt? Building codes require that the structural elements of high-rise
building withstand a three-hour test in a furnace. Why did the buildings collapse in less
time? 10
Matthys Levy, an authored and a 50-year experienced building engineer, who has
designed and built such massive structures as the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA appeared
in a 9/11 documentary for the Discovery Channel and stated that, “If you’ve seen many of
the managed demolitions, where they implode a building and they cause it essentially to
fall vertically because they cause all of the vertical columns to fail simultaneously, that’s
exactly
what
it
looked
like,
and
that’s
what
happened.”11
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 129
Jerry Russell, PhD, and holding a Masters in Engineering from Stanford, claims that the
collapses were more likely the result of controlled demolition than from fire damage. He
writes:
Fires do not destroy skyscrapers. Never in the history of steel frame structures has a single
one been destroyed by fire. How to destroy a skyscraper. So, how do you destroy a
skyscraper? Suppose you need the vacant land to build another one, for example…
…The most effective, cleanest, safest way to destroy a skyscraper is known as controlled
demolition. The trick is to distribute explosives at key points throughout the structure.
The explosives are detonated simultaneously, destroying the integrity of the steel frame at
key points, such that no part of the building is supported against the force of gravity. The
entire mass is pulled swiftly to earth, where gravity does the work of pounding the
structure into tiny fragments of steel and concrete. The gravitational potential energy of
the structure is converted smoothly and uniformly into kinetic energy, and then is
available very efficiently to pulverize the fragments of the building as they impact against
the unyielding earth. Controlled demolitions have a striking and characteristic appearance
of smooth, flowing collapse. As your eyes will tell you, the World Trade Center collapses
looked like controlled demolitions. Here's the proof.
The proof. According to the law of gravity, it is possible to calculate the time it takes for an
object to fall a given distance. The equation is H=(1/2)at2, where H is the height, a is the
acceleration of gravity (10 meters per second squared) and t is time in seconds. Plug in the
height of the building at 1350 feet (411 meters) and we get 9 seconds. That is just about
the length of time it took for the very top of the World Trade Center to fall to the street
below. According to all reports, the whole thing was over in just about ten seconds.
It is as if the entire building were falling straight down through thin air. As if the entire
solid structure below, the strong part which had not been burned or sliced or harmed in
any significant way, just disappeared into nothingness. Yet this (within a small tolerance)
is what we would expect to find if there had been a controlled demolition, because the
explosions below really do leave the upper stories completely unsupported. Like the Road
Runner after he runs off the edge of the cliff, the entire building pauses a moment, then
goes
straight
down.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 130
Any kind of viscous process or friction process should have slowed the whole thing down.
Like dropping a lead ball into a vat of molasses, or dropping a feather into the air,
gravitational acceleration cannot achieve its full effect if it is fighting any opposing force.
In the case of the World Trade Center, the intact building below should have at least
braked the fall of the upper stories. This did not happen. There was no measurable friction
at all. This proves controlled demolition.12
The fires were initially intense from the fireball, and the jet fuel acted as a starting agent
for the isolated building fires but then became very low intensity and/or smothered. This
is demonstrated by the numerous images of survivors from the impact and fuel burn-off
that huddled near the gaping entry wounds of the aircraft, hoping and praying for
rescue. Many leapt to their horrible deaths from those same openings. The F.D.N.Y.
Battalion Chief Brian Dixon gave a statement after the attacks confirming the lack of
heavy flames and raging fires in WTC-1:
I’m looking at the tower, at one (WTC-1), and two (WTC-2) is set back. Obviously the
south one is set back farther. I don’t recall a lot of flame from that vantage point, from
looking up from the west side of West Street. People were standing out there. A lot of
smoke drifting up, a lot of dark black smoke drifting up on tower one from the lowest floor
of fire, obscuring the top somewhat. I didn’t see a lot of flame coming out of windows or
anything.13
Chief Dixon claims he saw only minimal fires, with heavy black (cool) smoke, he also
claims he saw survivors from his vantage point. How can they have been survived a
government alleged 800°C-2000°C inferno that would have weakened code-certified
steel, yet spare human flesh? How can fires spontaneously level two 110-story buildings
yet miraculously spare a paper passport from one of the alleged hijackers in a state of
almost pristine condition to rival the unblemished 1963 Kennedy ‘Magic Bullet’ for all its
ridiculousness? The fires were suffocating themselves out, and dark black, sooty (fuel
laden with poor oxygen supply to enable combustion) smoke was being vented, typical of
a choking and inefficient fire. The images of the gaping wounds inflicted by the aircraft
did not show any red or white hot steel glowing from raging fires, nor were there any
fire-caused
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 131
window breakage or exterior cladding damage. Firefighter radio communications just
prior to the collapse also indicated that there were only minimal fires remaining, and
that they believed they were controllable. Seven minutes before the collapse, battalion
Chief Palmer is heard to say over the radio:
Ladder 15, we've got two isolated pockets of fire. We should be able to knock it down with
two lines. Radio that, 78th floor numerous 10-45 Code Ones. I'm still in boy stair 74th
floor. No smoke or fire problems, walls are breached, so be careful.14
Chief Palmer called for a pair of engine companies to help fight the fires. The fact that
veteran firefighters, among the worlds most experienced in fighting skyscraper fires, and
showed no signs of fear or panic, and they had a coherent plan for fighting the fires,
contradicts the official explanation of the collapses that the fires were so hot and
extensive that they weakened the steel structure. These are not the words some
technician running simulations after the fact, this is direct eye-witness testimony, from
the grave. It is not credible that the alleged “high heat” fire was ever widespread enough
or ever approached temperatures capable of weakening the steel frames and support
beams in the very short of time from the impacts to the collapses, each in less than 60
minutes.15 Additionally, the heat did not just concentrate in a few locations, it was
wicked, or radiated away through the remaining steel columns, and the duration of the
exposure of the steel columns, even the columns damaged and lacking protective
coatings to high fire, was grossly insufficient to allow for a collapse according to the
government excuse. The steel frame superstructures act like a giant heat sink and
quickly dispense and diminish heat through the structure from the point of application.
Let’s look at some historical examples of truly intense fires in modern steel framed highrises that did not lead to building collapses, even dramatic fires that led to a complete
burn through. The short-lived fires at the World Trade Center buildings 1, 2, and 7 never
came close to approaching the intensity of those seen here. Please remember, not one

due to fire damage. Zero. Yet on 9/11, three buildings caught fire, and collapsed in record
time, including one 47 story building that was not hit by an aircraft, and had, at best,
minor fires confined to two floors. At face value, and after analysis, the statistical odds of
these never-before-seen phenomena happening all on the same day are astronomically
against this happening. It’s just mind-boggling.
The 2005 Windsor Building Fire, Madrid Spain.
The dramatic and towering 2005 fire that consumed the entire 32-story Windsor
Building in Madrid, Spain is a very compelling counter-example to the fire caused
collapse theory of 9/11. The Windsor burned for much longer, at much higher
temperatures, and with more extensive concentrations of heat than the 9/11 World Trade
Center fires did, and yet amazingly, it did not collapse.16 The Windsor Building steel
frame, including its steel floor joists and concrete floor pans were primarily still intact
long after being exposed to red to bright canary yellow hot flame for a long and intense
burn for over 18+ hours. It’s actually not so amazing, modern steel framed buildings do
not collapse from fire.
Fire color charts for steel heating indicate that the temperatures ranged from 745°C1080°C.17 It is also notable that the Madrid fire did not include jet fuel or other
hydrocarbons as an accelerant or fuel source, yet in the absence of jet fuel, produced a
much hotter, intense, and longer duration fire than what was observed in WTC-1 and
WTC-2, and especially WTC-7. Examine the photos of the Windsor Building Fire Madrid Spain

temperature building fires. This is the type of fire the 9/11 Commission and FEMA

suggests otherwise, and basic physics absolutely confirms did not take place.

The 2004 Parque Central Building Fire, Caracas, Venezuela.
The Parque Central Complex towers consist of two twin 56-story towers. The Parque
Central Towers are the tallest buildings in South America. On Oct. 17, 2004 the 730-foot
th
East tower was struck by a large and aggressive fire, breaking out on the 34 floor. The
intense blaze burned for more 17 hours and spread over 26 floors, reaching the roof.18
The fire caused nearly $250 million in damage. The building construction structure is a
post tension “macro-slab” design and lacks a central core, making it weaker in
comparison to the WTC.
Fire control response was limited by poor water pressure, sprinkler failure, and lack of
fire control maintenance and lack of firefighting equipment.19 The building floor was
built to U.S. fire safety codes for a minimum 2.5 hour burn resistance. Military
helicopters with water buckets were pressed into service to assist in dropping water on
the building. Despite the heavy damage, including some minor deflection (bending) in
some steel beams, the building did not collapse. Extensive window breakage and exterior
façade damage is also evident in the Caracas fire. These common characteristics were not
present in the WTC Tower fires on 9/11. Parque Central fire Venezuela 2004 Parque Central closeup

The 1991 One Meridian Plaza Fire, Philadelphia, PA.
On February 23, 1991 fire gutted eight floors of the 38-story modern steel framed
skyscraper. The fire burned for 18 hours. The extreme heat caused window glass and
frames to melt and concrete floor slabs and steel beams to buckle and sag dramatically.
Large shards of window glass fell from the facade, cutting through fire hoses on the
ground around the building. The fire would not yield and there were increasing concerns
about the stability of the structure. Fire officials called off the attack and allowed the fire
to "free burn," concentrating their efforts on containing the fire to this building. The
building did not collapse and was eventually repaired.20
The 1988 First Interstate Bank Building Fire, Los Angeles, CA.
On May 4, 1988 a fire broke out in the First Interstate Bank building that was called the
worst high-rise fire in Los Angeles history.21 The building has a structural steel frame,
applied thermal insulation and heat retardants. Steel floor plans with light-weight
concrete were also in the design. The aggressive fire raged for 3½ hours and gutted and
burned through 4 floors of the 64 floor tower. There was massive glass breakage, with
flames lapping 30’ up the outside faces, and there was nearly complete destruction of
external curtain walls, spandrel panels, and mullions. After extinguishing the fire and
several

month of inspection, the First Interstate fire was described as “producing no damage to
the main structural members.”22 The building construction was similar to the WTC
complex, open-plan office space. The building was repaired and reoccupied months
later.
The 1975 World Trade Center, North Tower Fire, New York, NY.
Unknown to most people, and apparently intentionally kept quiet by the mainstream
media, on February 13, 1975, the World Trade Center North Tower suffered a serious
and intense fire that lasted nearly 3.5 hours and was classified as a 3-alarm fire.23 The
fire destroyed the 11th floor and spread to several other floors, including areas in the
central core. The fire broke windows out, and were seen pouring out of the windows of
the 11th east side floor, which is indicative of fires over 700°C. Firefighters described
that the fire was especially intense when F.D.N.Y. Captain Harold Kull of Engine Co. 6
described “it was like fighting a blow torch.”24 Despite the intense heat and duration,
none of the steel floor trusses had to be replaced, despite exposure to higher heat fires of
longer duration, and were more than capable to support the load of the floors until 9/11.
The fires of 9/11, while they lasted, were of much less intensity due to the lack of window
breakage, excepting the impact damage, and also lack of flames from the openings. No
publicly available photos exist to make image comparison.
The Broadgate Fires and the Cardington Test Fires.
The Broadgate Phase 8 fire is also notable. This accidental fire happened during the
construction phase of a high-rise apartment complex in England when the steel frame
was only partially fire protected. Despite very high temperatures during the fully
developed phase of the fire and considerable deflections in the composite slab there was
no collapse. Temperatures at the Broadgate fire exceeded the WTC fires by nearly
double. This initiated construction of an 8-story composite steel frame at Building
Research Establishment's (BRE) large scale test facility in Cardington. The fire at
Broadgate showed that this (runaway failure) didn't actually happen in a real structure.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 137
In the mid-1990s, as a result of the Broadgate Fire, British Steel and the Building
Research Establishment performed a series of experiments at the Cardington test
facilities to investigate the behavior of steel-framed buildings exposed to heavy fire.
These experiments were conducted in a simulated, eight-story building. Secondary steel
beams were left unprotected. Six fire tests were conducted, of varying size and
configuration, to observe and ultimately explain why composite steel-framed structures
adopt very large deflections (sags and twists) during a fire but do not collapse. Despite
the temperature of the steel beams reaching 800-900º C (1,500-1,700º F) in three of the
tests, which was well above the traditionally assumed critical temperature of 600º C
(1,100º F), no collapse or structural failure was observed in any of the six experiments.25
As previously noted, Kevin Ryan, a scientist for Underwriter’s Laboratory, which
certified the steel used in the WTC, said that the fires in the WTC buildings only reached
a maximum of 250° C (500° F) and this information fits well within the Cardington test
parameters for steel frame exposure to heat and fire. Additionally, since NIST‘s own
scientists confirmed only a minimal time exposure to the fire, it does not seem plausible
that low-level to moderate fires caused the catastrophic “global collapses” alone on 9/11.
Something else was a triggering event after the impacts and after the brief fires.
Something else was responsible causing the near-simultaneous shattering and failure of
47 steel core columns and supports and caused a free-fall collapse in roughly 12 seconds.
The Cardington frame fire tests and subsequent numerical modeling has shown that
multi-story steel-frame structures survive compartment fires when all the steel beams
are unprotected, despite temperatures in the steel of greater than 1000° C.
The Cardington tests also showed that despite large deflections of structural members

collapse is in error.
The WTC South Tower.
The South Tower was the second of the WTC buildings hit in the attacks, yet it was the
first one to fall, which is remarkable in itself. The South Tower was hit at 9:03 AM and
collapsed at 9:59 AM, a total of 56 minutes. According to NIST’s own scientific analysis,
the low flashpoint fuel of the Boeing 767 burned off after at most 5-10 minutes. The
aircraft hit off-center to the tower and most of the fuel load was ignited exterior of the
building at impact in a dramatic fireball. If you notice from the photo, the floors were
only damaged on one-half of the entire structure. The WTC building hit the last, with the
least amount of fuel, and with less structural damage, fell first within 55 minutes. That is
amazing in of itself. If the building was going to collapse according to the visible damage,
the obvious weakest areas of the structure, you would have had the disastrous leaning
collapse of the towers, not a perfect symmetrical vertical collapse into its own footprint.
But in fact, there was a leaning of the top 20 floors of the tower, of about 20° over the
vertical axis of the building. As this section is now over open air, it should have come
down independently from the remaining tower and left a gigantic cube-shaped pile of
wreckage on the street below,26 it should have according to Newton’s Law of Motion,
continued in its direction of collapse. South Tower WTC-2 only half damaged – heavy smoke with

But none was found; it broke apart and disintegrated in mid-air from unexplained
forces. Can someone explain to me the mechanisms that can accomplish the remarkable
feat of circumventing the Laws of Physics that does not include the use of highexplosives, or divine intervention, in the scenario? According to Newton’s First Law of
Motion, something high school students learn in Physics 101, “A body reremains in
uniform motion with constant speed in a straight line, unless it is acted on by an
unbalanced external force.”27 If the government’s explanation for the collapse is
accepted, then the phenomenon observed on 9/11 violates the physics principle of
Newton’s Law of Motion and also the Conservation of Momentum. Only controlled
demolition can account for change in the direction, or disintegration, of the top leaning
portion of the tower. According to the Conservation of Momentum, momentum is
always conserved. No exceptions. In the absence of external forces, a system will have
constant total momentum: a property that is identical to Newton's law of inertia, his first
law of motion. Newton's third law of motion, the law of reciprocal actions, dictates that
the forces acting between systems are equal, which is equivalent to a statement of the
conservation of momentum.28

to an asymmetrical collapse. The weight of the upper floors, according to the official
theory, should have caused a leaning collapse, not the near-perfect vertical telescoping
that was observed. The leaning collapse would have been event more destructive as
debris would have rained down on a wider area and struck more buildings. The only
known mechanism that allows for a near perfect vertical and symmetrical29 collapse is
computer controlled demolition. Even building damage caused by strong earthquakes is
not as precise and total as what happened on 9/11 with the buildings.

Frank DiMartini, the Manager of WTC Construction and Project M
who died in the attacks on 9/11 said prior that the design of the Towers were to be able to
withstand multiple strikes from a 707, then the largest aircraft at the time. The Towers
were designed with load-redistribution safety factors to be able to handle up to 6x the
normal loads. He stated in an interview that,
707 crash into it. That [Boeing 707] was the largest plane at the time. I believe that the
building could probably sustain multiple impacts of jet liners because this structure is like
the mosquito netting on your screen door - this intense grid - and the plane is just a pencil
puncturing that screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen netting.30

measure of reserve strength than typical large buildings. According to the calculations of
engineers who worked on the Towers' design, all the columns on one side of a Tower
could be cut, as well as the two corners and some of the columns on each adjacent side,
and the building would still be strong enough to withstand a 100-mile-per-hour wind.32
As with all high rises, the building was over-engineered and should have survived the
aircraft impacts and fuel fireballs.

that the 9/11 Commission underplayed or omitted the absolutely massive 47 core
columns when it presented its report. The 9/11 Commission falsely characterized the
core of the towers as “hollow.” Tucked away and hidden in the endnotes of the Official
Report, the 9/11 Commission writes: “In addition, tframe of 14-inch-wide steel columns;
the centers of the steel columns were 40 inches apart. These exterior walls bore most of
the weight of the building. The interior core of the buildings was a hollow steel shaft, in
which elevators and stairwells were grouped.”33 That is a complete and total fabrication.
Not only does the Commission misrepresent the significance of the columns, they
incorrectly claim that the exterior walls were the primary weight bearing structure. The
reality is in direct contradiction to the claims of the Commission. Look at the close-up of

information, what else are they distorting? If the Commission is making errors of this
magnitude on publicly available records of the architecture of the WTC Towers, then the
rest of its data and analysis is also suspect and impeached. Dr. David Ray Griffin, calling
the 9/11 Commission Report a 571-page lie, writes: Each collapse was also total, with each 110story building collapsing into a pile of
rubble only a few stories high. How such a total collapse could occur---if explosives were
not used---is a complete mystery, because the core of each tower consisted of 47 massive
steel columns. The main explanation for the collapse is a pancake theory, according to
which the floors above the hole created by the plane’s impact broke loose from the
columns and fell on the floor below, thereby starting a chain reaction. But if this is what
happened, the core columns would have still been sticking a thousand feet into the air.
The Commission handled this problem by simply denying the existence of these core
columns, saying: “The interior core of the buildings was a hollow steel shaft.” 34This image

Free Fall Speed of Collapse and Demolition Squibs. Demolition charges firing several
floors below the main collapse wave
In condemning video footage, high velocity jets of firing demolition squibs35 can be seen
erupting on the right side, and also from the direct front view of the camera.36 The
collapse of the WTC-1 and WTC-2 Twin Towers, according to the seismic data and video
footage recorded, are in agreement that they fell at nearly at the vacuum rate for free-fall
speed, collapsing between 9 to 10 seconds, with apparently nothing impeding the fall of
hundreds of thousands of tons of steel and concrete other than air resistance.37
According to basic high school physics books, and following Galileo’s Principle of Falling
Bodies, (later refined by Isaac Newton,) it would take in a vacuum a little more than 9
seconds to free-fall from the towers height of 1368 ft. At sea level in New York City, it
takes at the very most, an additional 1-3 seconds longer than the vacuum rate due to
encountered air resistance and minor air temperature/pressure variances. The
government’s official scenario of thousands of tons of steel and concrete crashing
through the undamaged lower floors of the towers in a “global collapse” with resistance
equivalent to air is preposterous and physically impossible unless high-explosive
demolition charges are cutting and breaking out the joints of the supporting steel frame
before the cascading debris reaches the floors. The scientific formula for computing the
maximum theoretical speed for the rate of free-fall of the collapse is H = ½ x G x T

where gravity is the constant accelerant of 32/sec/sec. (Height= ½ x Gravity x Time ).

Time (squared) = 2700/32
Time = 9.1855 seconds is the maximum rate of free fall in a vacuum for the North Tower.
The maximum free fall speed for the South Tower in a vacuum is 9.2195 seconds.
In the 9/11 Commission Report, on page 305,38 the official reported time of the South
Tower collapses was determined to be approximately 10 seconds. Stopwatch analysis of
video of the collapses is also in agreement. It should be painfully obvious that the
government’s explanation is now scientifically proven to be utter science fantasy, and
now belongs in the category of an “outrageous conspiracy theory,” and as indicated by
President Bush as not tolerable. The government’s defacto version of events stipulates
that the resistance qualities of steel and concrete, hundred of thousands of tons, and
minimally 80 floors, including two heavily reinforced elevator subdivisions dividing the
Towers, undamaged by the aircraft impacts and subsequent medium category fires is the
same as air or even a vacuum. Steel and concrete equals air?! It’s absolutely insane
and absolutely a big lie of Goebbels’ proportions.
Even if the speed of the government’s generic “global collapse theory” from one floor to
another was one second, the total time of the collapse from the 110 story building would
be no less than 110 seconds; if one half seconds is the time required from floor to floor
collapse and the transfer of the kinetic energy to force the column breakage, the total
average time is close to 55 seconds. The average time is based on the theory that the top
floors in the beginning would have less mass, and thus would require more time, to
contribute to the overload and subsequent breakage of the support columns but would
accelerate as the total mass of the collapse continued through to the mid and lower
floors. Neither of those hypothetical times were observed, instead the collapse occurred
in 10 seconds, just minutely slower than the maximum possible speed that would be
found in a vacuum, or in a controlled demolition. It is a safe bet that there was not a
naturally occurring vacuum situation present on 9/11. The systematic demolition of the

rolling demolition wave from the top down and are consistent with the video evidence of
the collapses. Dr. Morgan Reynolds says,
There is special import in the fact of free-fall collapse…if only because everyone agrees
that the towers fell at free-fall speed. This makes pancake collapse with one floor
progressively falling onto the floor below an unattractive explanation. Progressive
pancaking cannot happen at free-fall speed ("g" or 9.8 m/s2). Free-fall would require
"pulling" or removing obstacles below before they could impede (slow) the acceleration of
falling objects from above. Sequenced explosions, on the other hand, explain why the
lower floors did not interfere with the progress of the falling objects above. The pancake
theory fails this test.39
Stephen E. Jones, a research physicist for twenty years and on the faculty of Brigham
Young University, recently submitted a peer-reviewed article, “Why Indeed Did the WTC
Buildings Collapse,” countering the government’s contention that fire brought the World
Trade Center buildings down. This easy to read paper by Prof. Jones should be read in its
entirety for the full breadth and weight of his arguments. He writes regarding the freefall nature of the building collapses:
The rapid fall of the Towers and WTC7 has been analyzed by several engineers/scientists
(http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/proofs/speed.html; Griffin, 2004,
chapter 2). The roof of WTC 7 (students and I are observing the southwest corner) falls to
earth in less than 6.6 seconds, while an object dropped from the roof would hit the ground
1/2
in 6.0 seconds. This follows from t = (2H/g) . Likewise, the Towers fall very rapidly to
the ground, with the upper part falling nearly as rapidly as ejected debris which provide
free-fall references (http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/proofs/speed.html; Griffin,
2004, chapter 2). Where is the delay that must be expected due to conservation of
momentum – one of the foundational Laws of Physics? That is, as upper-falling floors
strike lower floors – and intact steel support columns – the fall must be significantly
impeded by the impacted mass. If the central support columns remained standing, then
the effective resistive mass would be less, but this is not the case – somehow the
enormous support columns failed/disintegrated along with the falling floor pans. How do
the upper floors fall so quickly then, and still conserve momentum in the collapsing
buildings?
The
contradiction
is
ignored
by
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 146
FEMA, NIST and 9-11 Commission reports where conservation of momentum and the fall
times were not analyzed. The paradox is easily resolved by the explosive demolition
hypothesis, whereby explosives quickly remove lower-floor material including steel
support columns and allow near free-fall-speed collapses (Harris, 2000)40
Notice the uniform rows high velocity jets appearing on the images, wrapping along both
sides of the building. Those are explosives detonating, not released potential energy from
gravity. The building has very little downward motion in this frame, if any. The radio
antenna is still visible and appears vertical. Even if you allow for the upper floor trusses
to have collapsed from the heat damage, the remaining lower (cool and undamaged
floors) would not have collapsed in the same manner at free-fall speed or with the
massive conversion of concrete to dust-sized debris. The lower steel columns were
unaffected by fire and should have given more resistance to the mechanical collapse,
certainly greater than the 10-15 seconds it took for the entire collapse. The only method
known for such a complete collapse that fits the time frame of free-fall speed of the top
to bottom collapse, and the massive dust cloud dispersal pattern, is from high powered
commercial demolition or military satchel charges.
th
Teresa Veliz, a survivor from the 47 floor from the first tower struck, the North Tower,
reported numerous secondary explosives being detonated and violent shaking of the
building after Flight 11 hit as she was evacuating the building. She said, “But I didn't
have much time to be upset because the building shook again, this time even more
violently…There were explosions going off everywhere. I was convinced that there was

the
place
and

was

sitting at a control panel pushing detonator buttons. There was an explosion and
another.”41
Many NYFD firefighters also described the rapid-fire series of explosions they viewed
and experienced as: “floor by floor it started popping out…it was almost as if it had
detonators, as if they were planted to take down a building…boom, boom, boom, boom,
boom…all the way down”42 as the cascade of charges were detonated. To watch the
same-day video from the Naudet Brothers 9/11 documentary of the firefighters of
F.D.N.Y. Engine Co. 7 discussing the explosive collapse of the towers, click here.
F.D.N.Y. firefighter and 9/11 hero Lou Cacchioli stated,
I somehow got into the stairwell and there were more people there. When I began to try
and direct down, another huge explosion like the first one hits. This one hits about two
minutes later, although it’s hard to tell, but I’m thinking, ‘Oh. My God, these bastards put

like

did
in

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 148
Another F.D.N.Y. firefighter repeated the claims of explosives detonating in a rhythmic
series. Firefight Edward Cachia reported to his superiors after the attacks in the recently
released interviews:
As I’m standing with my officer, the people are continuing to jump. Ganci is still on the
radio trying desperately to get some information concerning, this third plane in the air. As
my officer and I were looking at the south tower, it just gave. It actually gave at a lower
floor, not the floor where the plane hit, because we originally had thought there was like
an internal detonation explosives because it went in succession, boom, boom, boom,
boom, and then the tower came down. With that everybody was just stunned for a second
or two, looking at the tower coming down. Then everybody started to turn towards the
garage. That was it. We were just kind of blown into the garage with all the dust and the
debris and material from the building. It came up rapidly right up the street.44 [My
emphasis]
Yet more firefighters and command officers reported in statements after the attacks that
they witnessed explosive flashes, or heard sequenced and rhythmic detonations, or
bombs. F.D.N.Y Captain Karin Deshore mentions witnessing low level flashes of light,
and also sequenced explosions following the light flashes immediately prior to the
building collapse:
Somewhere around the middle of the World Trade Center there was this orange and red
flash coming out. Initially it was just one flash. Then this flash just kept popping all the
way around the building and that building had started to explode. The popping sound,
and with each popping sound it was initially an orange and then a red flash came out of
the building on both sides as far as I could see. These popping sound and the explosions
were getting bigger going both up and down and then all around the building. I went
inside and told everybody that other building or there was an explosion occurring up
there and I said I think we have another major explosion.45 [My emphasis]
New York Firefighter and Assistant Fire Commissioner Gregory Stephen also related
that he, and another firefighter, witnessed low-level flashes that are consistent
phenomena associated with controlled demolition. He said in his post-9/11 interview:
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 149
We both for whatever reason - again, I don't know how valid this is with everything that
was going on at that particular point in time, but for some reason I thought that when I
looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down,
that I saw low-level flashes. In my conversation with Lieutenant Evangelista, never
mentioning this to him, he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level flashes in front
of the building, and I agreed with him because I thought -- at that time I didn't know
what it was. I mean, it could have been as a result of the building collapsing, things
exploding, but I saw a flash , flash, flash and then it looked like the building came down.
Q. Was that on the lower level of the building or up where the fire was?
A. No, the lower level of the building. You know like when they demolish a building, how
when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That's what I thought I saw. And I
didn't broach the topic to him, but he asked me. He said I don't know if I'm crazy, but I
just wanted to ask you because you were standing right next to me. He said did you see
anything by the building? And I said what do you mean by see anything? He said did you
see any flashes? I said, yes, well, I thought it was just me. He said no, I saw them, too.46

order to the 9/11 firefighter families on August 15th, 2005, see the first addendum, with

Pancake Collapse and Violent Material Ejection.
The official theories totally defy the known physics and engineering of how buildings
collapse according to the progressive or “pancake theory.” In a non-explosive collapse,
the debris should be observed remaining close to the structure on the way down. On 9/11
however, numerous demolition cutting squibs or explosive out-gassing vents were seen
discharging below the main thrusts of the collapse in the in video footage as the
buildings are imploded. 9/11 researcher Jeff King indicated the absurdity of gravity
collapse contributing to the powdering of the concrete, something other than potential
energy caused the effects witnessed and by deduction, the collapses:
How much very fine concrete dust is ejected from the top of the building very early in the
collapse. Since it should at most be accelerating under gravity at 32 feet per second, things
would be actually moving quite slowly at first…It is very hard to imagine a physical
mechanism to generate that much dust with concrete slabs bumping into each at 20 to 30
mph.47 Explosive lateral ejection of multi-ton steel columns 100’s of feet.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 151
Massive amounts of heavy tonnage materials, and evenly sized steel columns are seen
being violently discharged along a horizontal axis which can only be accomplished by
high explosives because the latent potential mechanical and gravity energy released of a
building collapse is grossly insufficient to propel heavy steel support beams laterally or
sideways hundreds of feet. In the image of the tower collapse to the right, the collapse
demolition rolls violently and rapidly downwards, in a 30-floor detonation zone with a
wave-like fluid motion. Notice also that from the image it appears that the faces of the
walls are receiving the brunt of the detonation waves, while momentarily the corners of
the building still appear to have retained their shape and position as the blast waves
outrun the collapse. Thom Doud, a Project Manager for Controlled Demolition, Inc.
stated in the documentary World’s Best Demolitions, that “Implosion can be both a
science and an art. Using one to create the other. You take the physics involved, the
engineering, and can take a 20-story building, or a 8 story building, and turn it into this
fluid, rolling demolition.”48
One of the most dynamic of conventional demolition events is a technique utilized in
surface and strip mining operations known as cast blasting. This is a process used in
open pit mines of coal, iron ore, copper, gold, molybdenum, and other metals in which
explosives are used to remove the overburden of the earth to expose the valuable seams
of coal, copper, gold, etc. This technique fires off 30-floor demolition wave ejecting steel columns,

of earth laterally in a rapid and wave-like series of synchronized blasts into an adjacent
mined out pit. These blasts often leave seismic traces that can register up to 3.0
magnitudes on nearby Richter scales, which is a logarithmic seismic energy output
equivalent to 29 tons of TNT. The North tower registered a 2.3 Richter reading and the
South Tower registered a peak of 2.1. The TNT equivalents for these readings are 2.7
tons, and 1.4 tons of TNT respectively. The cascading collapse of the WTC North and

an Romero, Vice President for Research and

Institute of Mining and Technology at New Mexico Tech, an expert authority of explosive
damage on buildings stated his early opinion of video analysis of the characteristics of
the
9/11
tragedy:
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 153
My opinion is, based on the videotapes [of the collapses], that after the airplanes hit the
World Trade Center there were some explosive devices inside the buildings that caused
the towers to collapse. It would be difficult for something from the plane to trigger an
event like that. It could have been a relatively small amount of explosives placed in
strategic points.49
Only a few days later, apparently under professional or personal pressure, Romero
retracted his statement, saying "Certainly the fire is what caused the building to fail."50
Also, after his recanting, Romero was rewarded with a promotion, and was also
appointed to Co-Chair the President’s Advisory Council.51 He gave no explanation for his
surprising flip-flop on the cause of the collapse, which stands in marked contrast to his
reasoned explanation for the first opinion. This is indeed a very peculiar set of
developments and circumstances and should raise strong suspicions as to the motive
and timing of his recantation. However, it does reveal that his initial observations led
him to support the claim of controlled demolition, and given the resulting events and
casual appearance of various external pressures and duress, appears to be the most
intellectually honest of his claims.
In a frighteningly candid statement, the President of Controlled Demolition, Inc., Mark
Loizeaux says: “If I were to bring the towers down, I would put explosives in the
basement to get the weight of the building to help collapse the structure.”52 Based on the
numerous and consistent oral statements for eye witnesses, seismic records, and direct
observation of video and the proper application of the inviolable laws of physics, that is
very likely more than not, and beyond a reasonable doubt, what actually happened. Mark

9/11 Damage Similar to Controlled Demolition Events.
In October 1998, Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) brought down through conventional
implosion, the J.L. Hudson Department store building in Detroit, MI. It was a world
record blast for CDI, the largest steel framed building demolished, but there was
unplanned damage to the nearby People Mover rail system, as heavy beams from the
Hudson Building’s steel skeleton were shot out by the explosions over 50 ft. onto the
tracks below.53 “But when Hudson's fell, eight concrete-filled steel columns collapsed
outward, falling across the People Mover, said Albert Martin, director of the Detroit
Department of Transportation. The damaged monorail was about 50 feet from the old
28-floor store -- until the explosives went off, Martin said.” The damage claimed by the
City of Detroit to the insurance carrier of CDI. was assessed at nearly $4 million. Please

The debris violently discharged in the 9/11 WTC collapses sent steel beams and girders
weighing hundreds of tons and also partially connected building skeletal structure over
600 ft. away distant through the air from the original site of the collapse(s). That is a
remarkable demonstration of energy release and projectile ballistic vectors and is WTC
debris explosively ejected 600 ft. distant to damage the World Financial Building’s Winter Garden.
Compressed air did not move hundred ton steel framework, girders, and Detroit’s damaged People Mover rail

the 9/11 WTC collapses, the J.L. Hudson debris was
inconsistent with compressed air or any other source excepting the application of highexplosives, given the distance traveled and the heavy weight of the objects that struck the
World Financial Center’s Winter Garden. Any other explanation that excludes controlled
demolition and explosives also violates the basic physics principal of Newton’s Third
Law of Motion, which is that “forces occur in pairs equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction,” or in layman terminology “for every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction.” The opposite reaction of steel being shot 600 ft. is explosions from demolition
charges.

described by witnesses as having a consistency like volcanic ash: “Look at the dust. It's
like volcanic ash," Barbara Sutton told her husband Don yesterday. The couple from
Macomb County's Washington Township watched the blast on television Saturday and
decided to see the remains themselves the next day.”54 Even the demolition crew
described the scene at the former Hudson site as like a war zone: “It looks like a bomb
has hit. It's just unbelievable that that big building is down. It was awesome, awesome,"
said Paul Johnson of Detroit, who as a member of the demolition crew walked around
the building's remains shortly after the blast.”55 It looks like a controlled demolition.

Fine Powder in Mid-Air. In the process of the coll
at the very beginning of the collapse, the concrete that was poured into floor pans
was instantly pulverized to sub-100 micron sized dust56 (the consistency of talcum
powder) before it reached the ground. Numerous published photos of the debris taken
after the collapses on the ground show the dust coating everything for many square

o amount of mechanical or
gravity energy alone will create powdered dust from
large blocks of concrete or intact floorpans. It is impossible according to known physics
and thermodynamics for concrete to be reduced to dust of this size before impacting the
ground and from simple mechanical collapse energy release alone. The concrete was
rendered to dust while it was still in the air, even at the beginning of the collapse, where
there was only a small amount of initial speed (maximum of 15-25 mph) and energy to
contribute to the progressive collapse. Only the application of an external energy source
such as commercial or military-grade high explosives can explain this effect and result.

poured concrete.57 Energy from fire is also insufficient. The gravity energy released from
the impact of the shuttle Columbia n Texas in 2003 did not render any of it to dust from
an altitude of several miles, and its heat tiles were ceramic in nature. Concrete only
powders when exposed to a high energy compression wave from commercial high
explosive demolitions or military explosives, not from free fall or “pancake collapse.” A
concrete block dropped from 1300’ (the height of WTC-1 and WTC-2) would be broken,
crushed, and fractured, and in many small pieces, but it would not be powdered.

WTC Sub-Basement Explosions.
Multiple and simultaneous explosions were witnessed and felt in the subbasements of
the WTC 1 and 2 buildings by numerous credible people, including WTC maintenance
employees and 9/11 hero William Rodriguez and Jose Sanchez when the aircraft hit the
buildings, strongly contradicting the official story.60 Rodriguez says he felt explosions
below him before he felt the impact vibration of the aircraft collision. He was located on
sub-basement 1 of the North Tower. Rodriguez says:
When I heard the sound of the explosion, the floor beneath my feet vibrated,
the walls started cracking and it everything started shaking, Seconds after the
first massive explosion below in the basement still rattled the floor, I hear
another explosion from way above," said Rodriguez. "Although I was unaware
at the time, this was the airplane hitting the tower, it occurred moments after
the first explosion. I know there were explosives placed below the trade center. I
helped a man to safety who is living proof, living proof [that] the government
story is a lie and a cover-up.61
Another first-hand witness, Michael Pecoraro who was a World Trade Center Stationary
Engineer and a hero who rescued and saved several hundred people from death or
injury, was working on 9/11 on the 6th subbasement floor when the first plane hit the
tower. He recounted how multiple explosions rocked the floors underneath street level.
He noticed the room he was working in was filling with white smoke that smelled of
kerosene. He and a co-worker ascended the stairs to a small machine shop, and found
the room in ruins, with heavy tonnage William Rodriguez WTC lobby damage from underground

equipment destroyed. From an article in Chief Engineer, he offered this recollection:
There was nothing but rubble. We’re talking about a 50-ton hydraulic press – gone! You
could stand here,” he said, “and two inches over you couldn’t breathe. We couldn’t see
through the smoke so we started screaming.” But there was still no answer. The two made
their way to the parking garage, but found that it, too, was gone. “There were no walls,
there was rubble on the floor, and you can’t see anything” he said. They decided to ascend
two more levels to the building’s lobby.62
As they ascended to the B Level, one floor above, they were astonished to see a steel and
concrete fire door that weighed about 300 pounds, wrinkled up “like a piece of
aluminum foil” and lying on the floor. “They got us again,” Mike told his co-worker,
referring to the terrorist attack at the center in 1993. Having been through that bombing,
Mike recalled seeing similar things happen to the building’s structure. He was convinced
a bomb had gone off in the building. He relayed his experience when reaching the
damage in the lobby:
When I walked out into the lobby, it was incredible…The whole lobby was soot and black,
elevator doors were missing. The marble was missing off some of the walls. 20-foot
section of marble, 20 by 10 foot sections of marble, gone from the walls. The west
windows were all gone. They were missing. These are tremendous windows. They were
just gone. Broken glass everywhere, the revolving doors were all broken and their glass
was gone. Every sprinkler head was going off. I am thinking to myself, how are these
sprinkler heads going off? It takes a lot of heat to set off a sprinkler head. It never dawned
on me that there was a giant fireball that came through the air of the lobby.63
Note that he was underground, below street level, when these explosions were felt. He
later explains that he thought jet-fuel leaked down from the impacts, ignited to explosive
combustion and caused the damage in the lobby. However, this last statement poses
some problems. The scientific rule of Occam’s Razor states that given two equally
predictive explanations for an event, choose the simpler. For the official government
theory,

that was not consumed in the fireballs had to find its way hundreds of feet and through
70-80 non-damaged floors or elevator shafts to the sub-basement, nearly
instantaneously to the impacts, and then be in sufficient quantity and in optimal fuel-air
ratio and an ignition source to cause massive explosions versus the competing
hypothesis that pre-positioned explosives caused the damage that was observed in the
lower levels and in the lobby. Of the two competing theories, pre-positioned explosives
best satisfies Occam’s Razor. The fuel cannot be in two places at the same time, and if
the quantity of fuel is divided from the main floors of damage, then there clearly isn’t
enough fuel to feed the allegedly raging, and steel weakening inferno there. Finally, the
interior 47 steel core columns and the central core were specifically designed not to act
as a chimney for any fires. It was also designed with closable fire shutters to create a
hermetically sealed and oxygen-poor area. If it wasn’t designed to vent oxygen to feed a
fire, it is also reasonable to deduce that it would not have provided an easy conduit for
any flammable liquids.
Extensive Firefighter Testimonies of Secondary Explosions.
In the 2005 documentary video 9/11 Loose Change 2CE by Dylan Avery,64 many of the
initial news reports and credible eyewitness testimony indicated several follow-up
rounds of explosions that rocked the structure within the towers after the impacts and
just immediately prior to the building collapses. These statements provide excellent firsthand agreement to the empirical analysis of the physics of the collapses as being
consistent with controlled demolition.
Additional corroborative statements from firefighters on 9/11 were taken and printed in
the New York Times after being suppressed by the City of New York, and were only
released after the State Appeals Court ordered the city to turn them over to the 9/11
survivors.
These
historically
important
oral
histories
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 160
statements are peppered with comments regarding witnessing and experiencing the
sounds of secondary explosions, low-level flashes, blasts, and repetitive sounds like
gunshots, which is typical for the column cutting linear shaped charges to sound like
when fired. These statements can be found in the addendum at the end of this paper,
and I strongly encourage you to hear what the most credible witnesses speak as to what
really happened at the WTC on 9/11. Many New York firefighters also gave testimony in
video and in radio broadcasts that they also felt secondary explosions occurring while
they were conducting rescue operations.65 In recently released and heavily redacted
transcripts of radio communications, New York Firefighter Kirk Long, of Engine Co. 1
reported in that he heard the North Tower shake and “thought a bomb had gone off in
the lower basement.” MSNBC.com originally had that statement posted on its website,
but later quietly removed the bombing reference.66 F.D.N.Y. Deputy-Chief, Division 1
responded to the North Tower lobby and discovered:
When we entered the lobby, there was a lot of damage in the lobby, broken glass, tiles
dislodged and laying on the floor, you know, the decorative panels all around the walls.
But it was rather calm in the lobby. Chief Pfeifer was in control. We responded in. We
tried to gain control of the building systems, meaning the communications systems, the
elevators. None of the building systems were working. The elevators were all out of
service. The communication lines were not working.67
New York Fire Department Chief Frank Cruthers of the Citywide Tour Command, an onlocation eyewitness to the collapses, said in the official oral statements given after 9/11:
There were some units there, along with a Battalion Chief and I gave them some
instructions as to what to try to do. And while I was still in that immediate area, the south
tower, 2 World Trade Center, there was what appeared to be at first an explosion. It
appeared at the very top, simultaneously from all four sides, materials shot out
horizontally. And then there seemed to be a momentary delay before you could see the
beginning of the collapse. Some more debris came down, a little heavier but it didn't seem
to me at that particular point there was any really heavy stuff.68
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 161
The statement by Chief Cruthers is especially important as it indicates that the
simultaneous explosions that encircled the building preceded the collapse, and that the
building experienced a “momentary delay” of weightlessness before the vertical
collapse/cascade occurred. Many other additional responding F.D.N.Y. firefighters also
reported hearing and feeling explosives detonating in the lower
levels of the WTC. Fireman Richard Banaciski gave testimony in recently released
reports about the explosions. He said,
We were there, I don't know, maybe 10, 15 minutes and then I just remember there was
just an explosion. It seemed like on television when they blow up these buildings. It
seemed like it was going all the way around like a belt, all these explosions. Everybody
just said run and we all turned around and we ran into the parking garage because that's
basically where we were. Running forward would be running towards it. Not thinking that
this building is coming down. We just thought there was going to be a big explosion; stuff
was going to come down.69
If there are so many witnesses who have spoken out about the secondary explosions and
detonations, why haven’t more come out. New York auxiliary lieutenant firefighter Paul
Isaac, Jr. says that many of his brethren and New York Police know the truth, but they
have been intimidated and threatened. He says: “I know 9-11 was an inside job. The
police know it’s an inside job; and the firemen know it too…We all have to be very careful
about how we handle it…It’s amazing how many people are afraid to talk for fear of
retaliation or losing their jobs.”70 Or worse.
Audio Evidence of 9/11 Secondary Explosions.
On 9/11, Rich Siegel, an amateur videographer and the pioneer and creator of
OnlineTV.com, rushed to the Frank Sinatra pier in Hoboken, NJ and set up a
videocamera to film the event after the last airliner crashed into the South Tower. His
captured footage revealed, when corrected for the time and distance delays of 1.8 miles
to ground zero, reveal several intense explosions on the audio tracks
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 162
that immediately precede the collapse of the buildings. His released film, called
9/11Eyewitness, and available from http://www.911eyewitness.com gives very strong
scientific analysis of the peak sound pressure wave events before and during the
collapses. His video discusses several other compelling elements that directly question
the validity of the government’s official scenario for the attack and collapses. To view a
sample of the analysis, specifically the explosive sound pressure artifacts registered on
the digital tape, please click here.71
His full movie can be viewed from the resources available at the end of this book,
downloaded in large format (higher quality) from torrent sites on the internet, or the
DVD can be purchased directly from his website. The DVD is recommended and
technically preferred as it fully preserves the sound artifacts that can be lost or degraded
in video compression from DVD common to smaller file formats, and it also supports the
additional future work of the film author(s). In addition to the
sound analysis, Mr. Siegel also presents very convincing graphic scientific evidence of
the free-fall speed characteristics of the building collapses, click here;72 the evidence of
debris being ejected upwards from explosive forces and how only massive explosions
could satisfy the laws of physics required to create the observed trajectory pathways of
heavy steel beams and aluminum cladding debris that traveled up to 600 ft. distant from
the towers, click here;73 the peculiar behavior of various swarming helicopters that
approach the buildings, yet they did not attempt to rescue anyone; massive and rapidly
expansive debris clouds similar to the pyroclastic flows observed at volcanic eruptions,74
the strange behavior of the spontaneous collapse of WTC-7 and the massive energy
requirements necessary to create the expansive debris clouds that filled lower
Manhattan, that exceed the total potential energy released from normal gravitationalonly collapses, please click here.75.
Logical Implications.
It is highly improbable that the initial aircraft collisions would cause an instantaneous
cascade of massive explosions to reach down to the sub-basement
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 163
floors hundreds of feet away, separated by millions of tons of steel and concrete floors. It
is also unlikely that the alleged massive runoff of jet-fuel drained instantly and ignited in
a perfect air-fuel mixture down the elevator shafts as was given as a possible
explanation. Liquid fuel would still have taken, at a minimum, 15-20 seconds to reach
the basement levels at freefall speed with no resistance encountered in an empty elevator
shaft, or from staggered elevator layouts. But elevator shafts are not empty; they contain
passenger or utility cars and would have slowed the fall of fuel to the lower levels.
As was indicated earlier, most of the jet-fuel was consumed upon impact in the widely
witnessed and filmed exterior fireballs. NIST experts have indicated that the jet-fuel only
lasted 10-15 minutes of burn time due to its low flash point,76 it ether burned rapidly, or
it evaporated into the air. If significantly less jet-fuel was available on the damaged
impact floors to feed the fires because of drainage of an
unknown volume of liquid fuel to the sub-basements, and from its consumption in the
ensuing impact fireballs, it is thereby unlikely that the remaining jet-fuel on the upper
floors could have ever caused high temperatures to build in such a very short period of
time (less than 1 hour for each tower) or that those modest fires could weaken or melt
steel, or drain to the lower floors and sub-basement floors, as the government contends.
Obviously, burning fuel cannot be at two places at the same time. It is also factually clear
that from 100 years of history, and countless high-rise fires that the standard contents of
a high-rise office building: building materials, furniture, papers, carpeting, plastics, et al,
are not enough to cause buildings to spontaneously collapse and cause concrete to
pulverize to the consistency of flour and for steel to shred. Only high explosives can meet
the requirements for those observed phenomena.
Furthermore, since the towers were anchored at the base to the bedrock, the shaking
caused by the crash would have been greatest close to the crash site, getting
progressively weaker as it approached the rigid column attachments at the bottom. Yet
the
underground
damage

describes

not

the

result of a mere shaking - nothing short of an explosion could reduce the contents of a
machine shop to rubble, and for it to register at a 2.3 and a 2.1 Richter on seismic
readouts, prior to the building collapses.
Mr. Pecoraro said that he "later learned" that there had been an explosion caused by fuel
pouring down an elevator shaft, but the lobby shows none of the soot or fuel residue we
would expect from such an explosion. Instead we see blown-out windows and a fine dry
dust covering the entire lobby, very much the signature of high order explosives,
especially composition C-4. Similar damage to the parking garages and sub-basements,
which is also borne out by other witness statements, can only be explained by pre-placed
explosive charges that were detonated at the moment of the plane's impact.
The only plausible explanation to reconcile both the credible witness testimony and also
the physical evidence is pre-positioned high-explosive devices. Explosions were felt,
heard, and seen by eyewitnesses and also ear-witnesses, in the towers themselves, in the
basement floors or the towers, and also on the streets. Witnesses of secondary explosives
ranged in expert quality from office workers and building custodial staff, to firefighters,
to command officers of the firefighters. These are very credible and independent
witnesses, with nothing to gain in standing against the government explanation. Despite
all that they lost on 9/11, friends, family, co-workers, these witnesses are risking even
more by making this information known to the public, often in danger to themselves or
in violation of FBI-imposed gag-orders.
Examine the statements made by firefighters and their commanding officers and their
belief of explosives being fired off. The sounds and visuals they describe are of controlled
demolition. This is very similar to the attack strategy on the WTC on Feb. 26, 1993 when
massive truck bombs were placed in the parking garages of the buildings, (with the
explosives provided by the FBI.)77 In response to the 9/11 attacks, William Rodriguez has

Pyroclastic flows are a common and devastating result of some volcanic eruptions. They are fast moving
fluidized bodies of hot gas, ash and rock which can travel away from the vent at up to 150 km/h. The gas is
usually at a temperature of 100-800 degrees Celsius. The flows normally hug the ground and travel
downhill under gravity, their speed depending upon the gradient of the slope and the size of the flow.

The Orders Stand
During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man
who would come in and say to the Vice President, "The plane is 50 miles out." "The plane
is 30 miles out." And when it got down to "the plane is 10 miles out, "the young man also
said to the Vice President, "Do the orders still stand?" And the Vice President turned and
whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard
anything to the contrary?" Well at the time, I didn't know what all of that meant. And…

Chapter 6: The Pentagon Attack: The Military Stand-Down
You want answers? I think I am entitled. You want answers? I think I deserve the truth.
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH! ~ Colonel Nathan Jessup, A Few Good Men
The Pentagon is the headquarters for the entire U.S. military, and is among the most
heavily defended military installations in the world with: multiple on-site ground-to-air
missile defense batteries with “Friend or Foe” identification, several layers of civilian and
military radar coverage, and a nearby Air Force base with 2 fighter squadrons. The
Pentagon and those in command allowed a known air threat to approach it, attack it, and
hit it, which just coincidentally hit on its recently blast reinforced and least populated
side. There are several arguments to contradict the official story and they raise several
important and disturbing questions.
The Incompetent Pilot Turned Top Gun.
The alleged pilots, among them a Saudi named Hani Hanjour, had never before flown a
jet aircraft, lacked an instrument rating, barely spoke the English language, was
considered so incompetent by his flight trainers that he was denied the ability to rent a
simple single engine propeller aircraft, and lastly, flight instructors refused to train or fly
with him. He could barely drive an automobile.3 With such a poor command of the
English language, how could he function in the pilot’s seat or in the right seat of an
advanced avionics suite of a Boeing 757? All the instruments and read-outs are in
English. How could they fly the plane without being able to read the instruments? The
training he received does not remotely begin to correlate to the performance
requirements to necessary to execute the attacks on 9/11. Pentagon held simulated attack drills
in
2000

This poorly-rated, inexperienced, and basic pilot trainee, according to the official version, allegedly performed a high
G-Force maneuver of such extreme difficulty that most experienced and professional commercial airline pilots and
even highly trained military pilots would have had difficulty executing. The maneuver Hanjour miraculously
performed was a 270° spiral turn at 600 mph while also executing a descent of 7000 feet in 2 minutes performed in a
multi-engine commercial 100-ton Boeing 757-200 jet aircraft flying in final approach to impact the Pentagon just
inches off the ground. It was allegedly his FIRST TIME at the controls of such an aircraft and flying at speeds 5x
faster than he had ever flown before in propeller training aircraft and without an instructor. For a devastating critique
regarding the impossibility of any of the alleged Arab kamikaze pilots flying the jet aircraft for the attacks, please see
the article “The Impossibility of Flying Heavy Aircraft Without Training” by Nila Sagadevan, am aeronautical
engineer, and a qualified pilot of heavy aircraft, click here.
Maybe it was his training at the U.S. Pensacola Naval Air Station that gave him such instant expertise.4 That is
the U.S. Navy facility where many of our naval aviators receive their initial flight
training. This poorly educated Saudi national, barely speaking any English, and barely
capable of driving a car, pulled off the flight of a Navy Top Gun fighter pilot? It is not
even remotely credible that this person was the pilot for the Pentagon attack. Could a
medical student gain experience and perform a flawless open heart surgery just by
playing a PC simulator or studying manuals? Could someone barely able to make
coherent sandcastles build the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge on his first attempt?
This Boeing 767 cockpit Basic flight single engine controls for beginners instruction
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 175
explanation by the government is by all standards, an “outrageous conspiracy theory.”
John Lear, pilot extraordinaire, and son of the famous Learjet inventor, is extremely
qualified5 to speak on the subject of piloting and flight operations. He gave a radio
interview where he said that it is virtually impossible that a ragtag crew could have flown
the aircraft that struck the Pentagon, or the WTC buildings, and that they would have
had to have received highly specialized training, including time in an expensive 757
industry cockpit simulator, which are very limited in number and very tightly controlled.
He described the degree of difficulty in the flight when he said in 2003,
We were tricked into thinking that Osama was responsible for 9/11, but to get a proper
perspective on who 'did' the World Trade Center...uh...you have to understand what a
magnificent feat of airmanship this was. It was 'disastrous' and was horrible for this
country, but... this was not accomplished by some guys who went to Florida and got some
instructions on a Cessna or a Piper. And this was not accomplished by somebody who had
a right seat [copilot] on a 727.
In addition to that, hitting the Trade Center was a feat. But hitting the Pentagon was even
more of a feat, because when you are going that fast there is a tremendous amount of air
creating this lift and as you head towards the ground, that air reacts against the wing and
pushes you up, so whoever... whoever hit that... trained to hit the Pentagon at the 3rd
story was highly trained because when he came towards the ground... there was a
tremendous amount of lift and you would have to trim forward and push with an
incredible amount of strength to not be pushed up and over the Pentagon to hit the 3rd
story. You talk to any... pilot... who knows 'anything' about this... and that was... that was,
that was a feat of airmanship! With the benefit with 19,000 hours in all the airplanes I've
flown including air races... the Douglas B-26... I doubt that I could have done that the 1st
time...”
Therein lies the problem. Because they 'certainly' couldn't waltz into any airline in the
United States and get that kind of time. I mean, most of the airliners...uh... airlines... who
have 757's, use them 24 hours a day... and they certainly aren't in the habit of granting ...
uh... to unauthorized people, like somebody going in there and saying "hey, give me 1500
hours
of
time!"
It’s
just
not
going
to
happen.
They
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 176
would have to find another 757 elsewhere in the world and if you look around in the
Middle-East and there's certainly none there, because... at least…not in any Arab
country...because, they have airbuses...strictly airbuses from France. They would have to
find some place else....that has a 757 simulator.6
Several other former commercial and military pilots have come out speaking against the
claim that these hijackers could have piloted the planes on 9/11.7 The government’s claim
that these amateur – and that’s being generous, pilots could have flown these highly
technical aircraft over long distances under duress of maintaining control of the
passenger cabins with box-cutters, flying without instrument training, or advanced
navigational skills is very flimsy.
The Pentagon Strike Video Evidence is Tightly Suppressed.
Video footage of the attack is being totally suppressed except for cherry-picked and
edited snippets consisting of 5-6 frames from a single poorly positioned camera that are
very blurry and inconclusive as to the content. None of the frames of film released show
definitively a 100-ton Boeing 757 in the range of view. In the immediate vicinity of the
Pentagon, there were multiple camera positions on the roof that survived the attack, but
that footage is being tightly suppressed, or at worst, doctored.
Among it’s first reactions in response to the attack on the Pentagon, the FBI immediately
reacted by seizing all area video footage from nearby businesses such as the nearby
Sheraton hotel, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) highway cameras,
and the Pentagon’s own exclusive and on-property CITGO gasoline station, and then
tampering with the witnesses telling what they did or did not see and ordering them to
silence under the blanket excuse of National Security. For the FBI to immediately react
to the attack, and the resulting confusion, by gathering all the video sources surrounding
the Pentagon suggests a slightly incriminating foreknowledge of the event. It is not the
first White streak of smoke or exhaust, but no sight of a 100 ton Boeing 757. Where is it?
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 177
thing one would expect unless elements of the FBI already knew where the locations of
the video sources that could have captured what happened at the Pentagon, and by
extension, if they scouted out all the locations of potentially “official story” contradicting
videos sources, then they knew ahead of time that the attack was coming. The U.S.
government is determined to withhold these videos for what purpose? It is not acting
like a party with nothing to hide. Is this how a supposedly democratic government
predicted on transparency in an investigation operates? This is the same FBI that had
bungled nearly every major case to come across its desks in the last 20 years.
If the video captured by the camera seized by the FBI supported the U.S. position then
the footage would be more fully released and with more detail and clarity. The
government is fully aware that many people doubt the official version of the story and
could easily put those concerns to rest by releasing more film, or the films of the local
Sheraton Hotel, Virginia VDOT highway camera videos, or the gasoline station close to
the Pentagon Apparently, from the suspicious manner of the government’s actions, the
video does not tend to support the official story, and hence is suppressed.
When police detectives are conducting an investigation of a crime, they assess the
conduct of the suspect against the characteristics of what is to be normally expected from
the victim of the crime. What is a guilty person’s conduct likely to be versus what an
innocent person would be known to do? Be honest with yourself, is the government
acting like a guilty party with something to hide? A criminal hides and covers-up
evidence of their actions, an innocent person is cooperative and eager to exonerate
themselves by providing an iron-clad alibi Color of impact and explosion differs from aircraft

buildings.
Why?
and with forensics that excludes them from the likely list of “persons of interest.” Guilty
people act a certain way, they have peculiar mannerisms. They make verbal slip-ups,
equivocate, do things not to be expected, tell conflicting versions of the event, and feign
ignorance of the event. If you determine that the government is hiding something, then
you reasonably have to ask then what could it be hiding that is so bad for its stated
official position that would justify the secrecy? You already know the answer without
even requiring the evidence. The world desperately awaits the leak of the equivalent of
the JFK Zapruder8 film for 9/11.
Was a Boeing 757 Even Involved in the Pentagon Attack?
One of the most, if not the most, controversial discussions in the 9/11 Truth movement is
the dispute of whether or not the object that struck the Pentagon was a Boeing 757. It is
well known that the FBI has in its high-tech toolbox, highly sophisticated digital image
enhancement programs, but it apparently failed to apply them to enhance or clarify the
officially released footage; or, also a possibility – used the technology to remove
incriminating images of an object that was not a Boeing 757, but instead was of a smaller
object, such as a missile, or as some suggest, a modified A-3 Skywarrior outfitted with a
Globalhawk remote piloting system. This theory is highly contested within the 9/11
Truth movement and has strong adherents as well as its detractors. In my opinion, this
theory could potentially be a credibility honey-pot trap, set intentionally to divide people
in the 9/11 Truth movement into two opposing camps in an attempt to sow unnecessary
division and discord; and also quite possibly as a means to later discredit those who
claim that no Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon if the government decides to release more
footage in the future (again, possibly doctored) which shows the disputed 757 flying into
the building.
According to the proponents of the no-Boeing Theory, there is physical and
photographic evidence that suggests something other than a Boeing 757 struck the
building, such as the lack of damage to the Pentagon lawn, the entry-point of
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 179
the aircraft into the building (prior to the collapse of the outer ring wall) appeared much
too small to accommodate the fuselage, engines, tail-section including the vertical
stabilizer, and wings, the over-penetration of the thin-skinned aircraft to breach three
bomb-reinforced walls, the lack of passenger debris and luggage, cargo, and cabin
debris, (such as seats and galley equipment,) commonly found strewn about at other
crash sites (even at sites where the aircraft slam into mountain-sides in a death-dive
spiral) the missing titanium alloy engines and specially hardened steel-alloy landing
gear, the lack of any acknowledged recovered flight-time sensitive parts that could be
identifiable with stamped serial numbers and signify that the parts belonged to the
alleged aircraft, the vaporization of metal alloys with high melting temperatures (and
higher vaporization temps.), and the survivability of identifiable passenger DNA at those
alleged vaporization temperatures, and the incongruity of jet-fuel fires being unable to
achieve the temperatures required for melting steel and titanium, let alone selectively
vaporizing those alloys and miraculously sparing the human DNA, and the lack of
recovery of the black boxes (when they are designed to survivable), and the near physical
impossibility of maintaining control (especially by an inexperienced and poorly
performing propeller pilot such as Hanjour) of a large passenger jet flying ultra low-level
flight twenty feet off the ground at 400-500 mph for over a mile on approach.
There are also many competing eye-witness statements, and several initial news reports
which call into question whether or not a Boeing 757, Flight 77 crashed into the
Pentagon. Many witnesses claim to have witnessed a large passenger jet consistent with
a Boeing 757, while others maintain it was small commuter sized jet, or a missile. Initial
news reports also mention the lack of debris at the crash site that would normally be
expected to be found, such as the larger pieces of wings, engines, etc. Air traffic
controller reports also indicate that they thought the inbound aircraft exhibited flight
characteristics more appropriate to a military aircraft, than a civilian.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 180
Those are all very compelling criticisms of the official theory. While these theories have
the appeal of being “flashy” and shocking, it is my opinion that there are stronger
arguments (such as the measurable quality of free-fall collapse and the inexplicable
collapse of WTC-7) that exist to discredit the government’s position without resorting to
the reliability of video and photographic evidence supplied by the government/military,
competing and confusing witness recollections, and speculation and conjecture. These
arguments are at best secondary level to tertiary level arguments of 9/11, but I leave you
free to investigate further and decide on your own.
Andrews Air Force Base (AFB) Did Not Respond.
The home base of Air Force One, the President’s pair of nuclear hardened Boeing 747200B’s, has two squadrons of fighters that were not used to defend Washington D.C.
until it was too late. Why? Andrews Air Force Base (AFB) is only about 10 miles away
from the Pentagon and downtown Washington, D.C.9 Instead of scrambling directly
from Andrews AFB, fighters were scrambled from bases 129 miles away at Langley,
Virginia. Furthermore, the attack and collision was allowed nearly 40 minutes AFTER it
was widely known that hijacked aircraft were being used as weapons and after both
WTC-1 & 2 collisions.10
• Official Denial of Fighter Squadrons: It was originally claimed that there weren’t fighter aircraft
assigned to Andrews AFB. At the same time, media sources were also claiming that fighters were
assigned to Andrews AFB, but that no intercepts were scrambled because the fighters were not on
alert. NORAD commander Major General Larry Arnold has said, "We [didn't] have any aircraft on
alert at Andrews."11
• Truth Exposed: Andrews AFB, home of Air Force One, hosts two 'combat-ready' squadrons: the
121st Fighter Squadron (F-16 Falcons) of the 113th Fighter wing (D.C. Air National Guard), and
the 321st Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (FA-18 Hornets) of the 49th Marine Air Group.12
• Fastest Response: Scramble times for alert fighter aircraft on the deck to takeoff is approximately
2-5 minutes. The flight time to Washington from Andrews AFB is <1
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 181
minute. The Pentagon was hit 1:29 hours into the crisis. There is no possible reasonable excuse for
this level of incompetence or criminally gross negligence. 13
• The Dishonorable and Shameful Cover-up: Just before 9/11, the Andrews AFB website used to
directly link to the official US Air Force webpage devoted to the 113th Fighter Wing of the DC Air
National Guard. The existence of those pages contradicted media and military official claims that
there were no combat-ready fighter jets at Andrews. The Andrews AFB Website was taken offline
sometime around 9/11, and when it came back online in November 2001, the link to these pages
was broken. The pre-9/11 mission statement of the D.C. ANG had been removed, which had a
statement of its mission: "To provide combat units in the highest possible state of readiness.”14 I
don’t suspect Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda can login and access military and government
servers and conceal the existence of fighter wings from the public.
The military command left capable and ready fighters sitting on the Andrews AFB
tarmac. The military consciously and willfully withheld locally based fighter air-craft
from patrols over Washington D.C when it would have been painfully obvious that the
Nation’s capitol was an active target. On its face, this smells like a cover-up! Then,
Andrews AFB redesigned its website to obscure, hide, and downplay its local fighter
wings. 15 Covering up a crime is also known as being an accessory after the fact, and is
very prosecutable, just ask Richard Nixon.
Think about it. Would the home airfield of Air Force One, which is the Airborne
Command Headquarters and Control Aircraft of the U.S. military and primary
Presidential emergency aircraft in the event of a nuclear attack, be left utterly
defenseless except for transport and heavy lift aircraft escorts? Absolutely not. That
argument by the U.S. is not in the least credible, it too is
T
At least after the December 7, 1941 Japanese ”sneak” att
at Pearl Harbor, Admiral Kimmel and General Short and other officers were punished,
stripped of command, reassigned, or demoted for dereliction of duty. In a stunning
contrast, after 9/11, Richard Myers, then the General Richard Myers, JCS-USAF
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 182
senior Air Force General, and only empowered as the acting Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs at the time, and on-duty during the crisis, was fully promoted to the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States Armed Forces in October 2001.16 On 9/11,
General Myers made the claim that even after the attack on the second tower, he was
uninformed and not until the attack on the Pentagon did he realize that the U.S. was
under attack.17 He also made the claim that they hadn’t thought about this scenario,
which was repeated by then National Security Advisor (currently Secretary of State)
Condoleezza Rice in the 9/11 Commission hearings.18
This is also a blatant lie, for the military held drills in 2000 simulating an attack on the
Pentagon with an aircraft.19 This is the claim of a liar. This is how incompetence is
rewarded? No good deed goes unpunished, no crime goes unrewarded. Liars are
believed? If General Myers was any man of honor, his resignation should have been
immediately on the desk of the President. George J. Tenet, the Central Intelligence
Agency Director, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in December 2004 for
his service, the same Director who assured Bush that the weapons of mass destruction in
Iraq was a “slam dunk,” and who initially fingered the blame for the attacks of 9/11 on Al
Qaeda. His resignation likewise should have been immediately tendered on the desk of
the president on 9/11. That anyone in the leadership of a government agency or military
branch directly associated with the multiple gross failure(s) on 9/11 remained unscathed
politically in the aftermath is an abomination of the highest magnitude against the
principles of responsibility and stewardship.
In fact, nobody in the U.S. military, the CIA, FBI, or in the FAA, was punished or
received any disciplinary action for their catastrophic failures, massive incompetence,
and gross negligence in leaving Washington, D.C. and the Pentagon, without air cover
and for allowing multiple attacks to succeed in hitting their targets. Not one case of

of
command
criminal negligence, termination, demotion, reprimand, or administrative action.20 Not
even a slap on the wrist. Senator Mark Dayton (D-MN) publicly rebuked and excoriated
NORAD for lying to Congress, and to the American people during the 9/11 Commission
hearings. Dayton said that NORAD officials,
[NORAD] lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11
commission to create a false impression of competence, communication and protection of
the American people. And we can set up all the oversight possible at great additional cost
to the American taxpayers and it won't be worth an Enron pension if the people
responsible lie to us; if they take the records and doctor them into falsehoods, and if they
get away with it. For almost three years now NORAD officials and FAA officials have been
able to hide their critical failures that left this country defenseless during two of the worst
hours in our history.21
He further told Kean and Hamilton that if the commission's report is correct, President
Bush "should fire whoever at FAA, at NORAD ... betrayed their public trust by not telling
us the truth." This lack of proper meting of discipline, even within the ranks of the
military, utterly shocks the conscience.22 Compare the aftermath of 9/11 to other military
accidents and demonstrate the shocking and patently disparate lack of punishment. In
January 2005, a U.S. Navy nuclear attack submarine ran struck an unmapped mountain
and was severely damaged with several casualties and one fatality.23 The skipper of that
ship was relieved of command, received a nonjudicial punishment, such as a letter of
reprimand, and will never command a submarine again. His military career is over.24
In September of 2005, and contrary to Congressional recommendations, the CIA
Director Porter Goss has also prevented disciplinary action against agents responsible
for 9/11 security failures, including against his predecessor George Tenet.25 Porter Goss,
just before 9/11, was meeting with Senator Bob Graham and also with 9/11 lead hijacker
Mohamed Atta’s $100,000 money man, Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad. But that’s just a
coincidence, nothing to worry about. In the Bush administration, incompetence is

of society, more budget funding, and more opportunity to violate personal freedoms; in
short, the Peter Principle26 has been perfected and maximized.
The Military Stand-down and Simultaneous Exercises.
The military was effectively neutralized from reacting to the attacks by the numerous
exercises that were being conducted simultaneously on 9/11 at the SAME TIME as the
attacks, one of which actually included the scenarios of hijackings and aircraft attacking
the WTC and the Pentagon. What are the odds of that being unrelated? The drills also
involved inserting numerous false radar signatures into the systems. As a result, the
intercepting pilots couldn’t distinguish the real targets from the exercise ghosts, unless
they made direct visual contact. That wasted critically valuable time as the fighter pilots
chased radar ghosts and effectively hobbled the air response.27
The exercises that effectively "stood down" the military by the Air Force and other
agencies such as FEMA were called: Vigilant Guardian (Joint Chiefs), Vigilant Warrior
(NORAD), Northern Vigilance, Northern Guardian, and Tripod 2 (FEMA and New York
Port Authority). Air Traffic Controller conversations were heard that indicated they were
confused if the attacks were real or as part of the scheduled drills and exercises. Only one
exercise, Vigilant Guardian, was discussed in the 9/11 Commission report, the others
were conveniently omitted.28 Lies are not just based on the telling blatant statement
mistruths, falsehoods, or distortions, they are also considered lies if they are lies of
omission, and in this case, material omission. Among the worst category of lie, material
omission is usually found in legal terminology and often accompanies cases involving the
fraud. The omission of these other critical exercises further diminishes the credibility of
the 9/11 Commission Report.
The multiple simultaneous and matching scenario exercises provide excellent
operational cover: if something goes wrong in the operation of the real attack, if there is
a miscue, it can be cancelled, and any discovery of it from electronic
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 185
chatter, radar displays, or other attributes, can be quickly explained away by the agency
or unit conducting the operation to the subsequent inquiries or investigations, if any, as
part of an ‘official’ project of training drills and exercises.
It allows the open discussion and planning of the scenarios under the guise and cover as
exercises without the risk of raising suspicion from “good agents” when they hear actual
participants in the operation. The overlapping exercises created the operational
plausible
deniability,
or
the
“fog
of
war.”
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 186
What "the fog of war" means is: war is so complex it's beyond the ability of the human
mind to comprehend all the variables. Our judgment, our understanding, are not
adequate. And we kill people unnecessarily."
~ Robert S. McNamara, former Secretary of Defense for President’s Kennedy and
Johnson, The Fog of War
The cabal of neoconservatives at PNAC who planned this war (Cheney, Rumsfeld,
Wolfowitz, Libby, Perle, Jeb Bush) even before W became president, knew the American
people would not stand for it – unless there was “a new Pearl Harbor.” 9/11 supplied that.
Our government was warned. They were warned by the Clinton Administration. They
were warned by 11 other countries. And they were specifically warned by an FBI agent that
one of them was planning on flying a hijacked airliner “into the World Trade Center.”
They not only ignored the warnings, they made sure no fighter jets were scrambled to stop
it. If they had just done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to be followed, the Twin
Towers would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. This
is not stupidity, it is TREASON.

Doublethink
His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know,
to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold
simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and
believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying
claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian
of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into
memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again,
and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate
subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become
unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word
"doublethink" involved the use of doublethink.

The Controlled Demolition of WTC-7 is the Smoking Gun for exposing the government’s
complicity and criminality on 9/11. You only have to go as far as looking at the collapse
of WTC-7 to demonstrate conclusively that the WTC complex was intentionally and
criminally brought down by a pre-planned operation that had nothing to do with AlQaeda. The 9/11 Commission Report (as well as mainstream media and news agencies)
virtually ignored and purposefully avoided and minimized discussing this building’s
collapse in its “Official Report.” Out of a total of 585 pages in the Official 9/11
Commission Report, the words and terms “WTC-7” or “Building 7” are not even
mentioned once.1 Not once. It makes those that uttered the self-proclaimed 9/11 Report
as being “thorough” and “leaving no stone left unturned” look like a bunch of laughingstocks. This 47-story building fire and collapse wasn’t considered newsworthy or
photogenic enough? It is like the collapse of a 47-story building never even happened. In
the annual ritualized replays of the 9/11 attacks, the collapse of WTC-7 is almost never
shown. This glaring and dishonest omission screams for WHY? The mainstream media
has also avoided the controversy of the collapse of WTC-7. Why? Their deafening silence
in the face of an “open secret” is evidence of collusion in a post event cover-up.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 191
Silverstein’s Accidental Confession of Demolition.
In the 2002 PBS documentary titled America Rebuilds, the WTC leaseholder Larry
Silverstein made an alarming Freudian slip when he let it slip in a telephone
conversation with an unnamed fire commander that he ordered the building "pulled,”
which is an industry used term for a controlled demolition with explosives. Larry
Silverstein, the WTC leaseholder stated, “I remember getting a call from the, er, fire
department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to
contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life; maybe the smartest
thing to do is pull it. And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building
collapse.”2
Moments later in the film, a demolition worker uses the same term “pull,” when he, in
the same context, discusses triggering the implosion of the damaged WTC-6 building.
Evidence of the customary usage of “pull” as an industry used term comes from the very
same company that managed the clean-up of the WTC attacks, as well as coincidentally,
the cleanup of the Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building attacks, Controlled
Demolition, Inc. From CDI’s own corporate website, the term “pull” is commonly used
by one of the largest and experienced demolition contractors to refer to controlled
demolition.3
An experienced demolition team cannot place charges in a burning and smoke-filled
building of 47 stories, let alone in an unfamiliar structure in a few hours notice, and then
have it collapse in a textbook implosion into its own footprint. It’s impossible. It’s utterly
unbelievable.
The
charges
had
to
be
placed
before

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 192
Silverstein’s shocking (and profoundly stupid) admission was never the subject of any
proper inquiry during the 9/11 Commission’s investigation, and he has not given any
follow-up comment regarding it. Silverstein’s name, as the principle leaseholder for the
entire World Trade Center Complex, appears only twice in the entire 9/11 Commission
Report, and not in any reference to the admission in the documentary.5
Silverstein’s admission of ordering the controlled demolition of WTC-7, under normal
circumstances, should have been immediately followed up by law enforcement or by the
9/11 Commission if there truly was a thorough, “leave no stone unturned” investigation,
and is by itself, would be solely sufficient for an interrogation and indictment. Why has
there not been any official inquiry to this strange statement? Why haven’t the insurance
companies that paid out his claim raised any questions or done their own independent
investigations? Who can leverage the insurance companies to quash an investigation of
an incident of this magnitude? Is Al Qaeda capable of quashing an insurance
investigation and keeping its findings secret from the public and from building
engineers? At the least, this is prima facie indicative of criminal insurance fraud, in the
worst-case scenario; it is evidence of a massive huge and evil conspiracy of the highest
order. This evil and inadvertent confession alone should be enough to charge up the
electric chair.
WTC-7 Collapsed at Free Fall Speeds.
The World Trade Center Building 7 was 47-stories, and 570 feet tall. Applying the same
2
physics equation from chapter 5, Galileo’s and Newton’s Law of Falling Bodies, or T = (2
2
x Height)/Gravity. Thus, T = (2 x 570)/32) solving for the time of collapse yields a
precise mathematical solution for the fastest possible time of collapse in a vacuum as
5.9686 seconds. The additional delay of collapse through an atmosphere can be
estimated at an additional 1-2 seconds. It is from apparent from video freeze-frame
analysis that WTC-7 collapsed at or very near to the maximum theoretical speed, as
such,
is
an
extremely
remarkable
event
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 193
scientifically and in building engineering history to be allegedly caused from minor and
isolated fires. For the collapse to have occurred at near vacuum free-fall speeds,
something other than minor fires had to cause the simultaneous breaking of 24 support
columns and their joints. The only known examples of that phenomena occurring
beyond the theoretical is at controlled demolition events.
The WTC-7 Was Not Hit by any Aircraft.
In the strongest contrast to the circumstances of the attacks on WTC-1 and 2, the WTC-7
building definitely was NOT hit by an aircraft and the collateral debris impact from
WTC-1 and WTC-2 collapses was relatively minimal, especially when compared to other
buildings that were closer to WTC-1 and WTC-2, yet we are expected to believe that such
light collateral damage and limited fires would be sufficient enough to bring down the
47-story steel high-rise at free-fall speeds, where none have ever collapsed before or
since 9/11, let alone in the visible case of a perfect textbook implosion. Even large and
powerful earthquakes and their resulting damage and fires have failed to cause a nearly
perfect symmetrical collapse in modern steel-framed high rise buildings, such as what
occurred on 9/11.
Locational Problems.
The WTC-7 building was not even on the same city block as the main WTC complex and
not as close to the WTC-1 and WTC-2 as other structures (that did not collapse) were.
Building 7 was approximately 300’ away from the nearest tower.6 Other buildings closer
to the WTC buildings 1 and 2, such as Bankers Trust Building, the Verizon Building, and
WTC-6 received much more extensive collateral damage from the collapsed Twin
Towers, had more significant raging fires, and yet they did not fall. WTC-6 was the
closest
to
the
Twin
Towers
and
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 194
received the largest brunt of the collapse from WTC-1, yet it did not collapse, whereas
WTC-7, a lightly damaged building, did. The only connection to the collapses of all three
buildings is that they all were owned by Silverstein Properties and were over-insured for
billions of dollars, including a special terrorism rider, despite having low tenancy rates,
just prior to the attacks.7 Silverstein made several billion as a result of the attacks on a
property that was underperforming for tenancy rates, and was subject to an expensive
renovation to remove asbestos. Silverstein had a lot to gain financially from the attacks.
WTC-7 Only Had Minimal Fires.
Compare the intensity of the fires from WTC-7 to the photos previously shown of the
Madrid Windsor Building Fire or the other high-rise fires, and determine that the fires in
WTC-7 are modest and unsubstantial. The measly fires of WTC-7, while obviously
problematic, were not strong enough to bring down a 47-story steel high rise, in a perfect
symmetrical and vertical collapse. There is little to no fire-caused broken glass, or other
external façade damage, which is always characteristic of high-intensity fires, such as in
the Parque Central and Windsor fires. The color of the smoke is light-gray, to almost
dark black, further indicative of oxygen suffocated, weak, and inefficient fires.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 195
WTC-7 was a sprinklered building, concrete floorpan design, compartmentalized with
fireproofing materials such as gypsum, and its 24 robust steel columns in the central
core were sprayed with Monokote® fire insulation. The sprinkler system of WTC-7
should have been able to contain or extinguish the fires, but strangely, coincidentally,
they were inoperative on 9/11. Examine the photographs below of the fires of WTC-7 on
9/11 and judge for yourself if they were indeed the infernos or “blazing torches” as they
were described8 and compare them to the fires that struck previous high rise buildings,
such as the Windsor Building, shown previously in chapter two.
The 9/11 Commission and FEMA Still Don’t Know the Cause.
After only spending a paltry $600,000 to study the fires and collapse associated with
WTC-7, FEMA issued the following tentative and hedged conclusions about the collapse
of WTC-7: “The performance of WTC 7 is of significant interest because it appears the
collapse was due primarily to fire, rather than any impact damage from the collapsing
towers. Prior to September 11, 2001, there was little, if any, record of fire-induced
collapse of large fire-protected steel buildings…Loss of structural integrity was likely a
result of weakening caused by fires on the 5th to 7th floors. The specifics of the fires in
WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time.
Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the
best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research,
investigation, and analyses are needed to resolve this issue.”9 That statement is basically
an admission by the government agency that fires did not cause the collapse. I wonder
what possibly could have caused the collapse instead of raging a fire?
FEMA’s volunteer engineer’s best hypothesis for the collapse of WTC-7 has only a low
probability of occurring? Volunteer? The report, in regards to the WTC-7, is filled with
non-committal and indecisive language, such as: “may have happened, perhaps, likely,
approximately, could, possibilities, if, no physical evidence available, potential scenarios,
limited
information,
unclear,
if
existed,”
and
also
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 196
numerous recommendations for further study. In a nutshell, they are guessing, but
guessing in a way that supports the predetermined conclusion, ad hoc. It also offers up
the red herring of building fires that caused the collapse, but then says it doesn’t know
how the fires caused it, since the fires were not severe or widespread and there were no
indications that the emergency generator diesel tanks contributed any fuel or massive
explosions to feed some hypothetical massive fire or cause the buildings steel support
structures to uniformly and simultaneous snap at once. It also has no explanation for the
massive powdering of the floor concrete that was similarly seen at the collapses of WTC1 and WTC-2 earlier. Diesel fuel, even large storage tanks of diesel, does not have the
explosive capability or compression wave strength to pulverize concrete to fine powder
while also uniformly and simultaneously breaking steel support joints.
The theory offered by FEMA about the stored diesel fuel contributing to the collapse is
also discredited by FEMA’s admission that the largest tanks underneath WTC-7 were
recovered intact stating: “To date, the NY State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and DEC have recovered approximately 20,000 gallons from the other two intact
11,600-gallon underground fuel oil storage tanks at WTC 7.”10 The status of other fuel
storage areas were considered unknown. Furthermore, the other fuel storage tanks were
not uniformly distributed throughout the building. If there was an explosion, it would
have been localized and the demolition wave would have dissipated dramatically from
the site of the explosion. They would not have broken the support columns
simultaneously and uniformly. The collapse would not have been perfectly symmetrical
and vertical. It would have been a lop-sided collapse.
In regards to WTC-7, Physicist Stephen Jones writes in his hypothesis that, according to
the basic physical laws of Conservation of Momentum, Law of Increasing Entropy, and
the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that it is, according to those unbreakable laws,
impossible
for
the
fires
alone
to
have
caused
the
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 197
collapses consistent with how they fell. He claims that controlled demolition is the
mechanism that best satisfies the hypothesis and Occam’s Razor. He writes,
WTC 7 collapsed rapidly and symmetrically -- even though fires were randomly scattered
in the building. WTC 7 fell about seven hours after the Towers collapsed, even though no
major persistent fires were visible. There were twenty-four huge steel support columns
inside WTC 7 as well as huge trusses, arranged asymmetrically, along with approximately
57 perimeter columns. (FEMA, 2002, chapter 5.) A symmetrical collapse, as observed,
evidently requires the simultaneous “pulling” of most or all of the support columns. The
Second Law of Thermodynamics implies that the likelihood of complete and symmetrical
collapse due to random fires as in the “official” theory is small, since asymmetrical failure
is so much more likely. On the other hand, a major goal of controlled demolition using
explosives is the complete and symmetrical collapse of buildings.11
Support for this argument is that the fires burned for seven hours, but that during the
seven hours, the fire never burned through to the north side of the building. The alleged
superfire burned with such intensity that it warped the steel on southern side to the
point of collapse yet it failed to burn through gypsum and other firewalls. If this raging
fire weakened the southern side of the building only, then collapse would not have been
straight down, according to the Law of Increasing Entropy, it would have leaned over
like a cut tree.12 Such a chaotic and random event could not have been so orderly. The
photographs available of the WTC-7 do not suggest raging out of control fires. Not one
photograph taken of WTC-7 on 9/11 indicates that a raging fire of even half as intense at
the Windsor Building Fire of 2005, or any other major high rise fire in the last 100 years,
occurred. Again, as the mountain of evidence suggests, only controlled demolition fully
can account for the perfect vertical collapse of WTC-7 at free-fall speed and primarily
within its own footprint, at free-fall speed.
Furthermore, the participation of FEMA in the investigation calls into question the
credibility and thoroughness of the study. FEMA traditionally is not a research or
investigation
agency.
FEMA
is

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 198
response, and recovery agency. They are not historically tasked with processing evidence
or conducting building autopsies, especially those on a disaster of the scale and
magnitude of 9/11. One only has to look at the incompetence of FEMA in response to the
2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster to see how well they operate. Other federal or State of
New York agencies, with more qualified building engineers and with greater resources
were not assigned to study the collapse. The U.S. didn’t exactly throw this project into
the laps of their best and brightest. FEMA’s investigation consisted of part-time and
volunteer engineers that were never given access to the WTC-7 site, but instead had to
piece together what little remaining evidence it gathered from the Fresh Kills landfill,
and with a limited budget of $600,000. Most of the valuable evidentiary main column
steel from the WTC-7 was quickly hauled away to foreign smelters so very little of it was
available to the investigators. $600,000 of tax dollars were spent in this sloppy
investigation and that is the best explanation the government can provide?
Video Evidence of Demolition Charges.
In this section, it is immensely helpful to have an internet connection for viewing the
downloadable video clips of the WTC-7 collapse and comparison videos to controlled
implosion demolitions. In the televised video footage of the collapse of WTC-7 you can
observe the classic “pinch” in the top and center of the building as the center support
structure is demolished, followed by a near-perfect vertical drop of the building straight
down. It is a textbook example of controlled demolition.13 Furthermore, additional
condemning video footage exists of WTC-7, taken immediately prior to the collapse,
solidly reveals demolition squib charges firing in a sequence of detonations traveling up
the
edge
of
WTC-7.14
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 199
The cutting charges rapidly travel upwards and then smoke is seen at the top of
building near the penthouse, and more pronounced at the base, just before the building
collapses. In video from Eyewitness 9/11, shock waves can be seen rippling through the
building in the glass windows. This is critically important because the squibs and jets
occur before the building is in motion and before any downward compression forces can
force material out the windows and structure. Only the presence of pre-placed highexplosive charges can account for this observable phenomenon. This is not a random
spontaneous collapse from a non-existent raging fire; this is classic textbook demolition
work. Click on the links below for a compilation of web hosted images and videos that

Are you still not convinced that the WTC buildings were brought down by an inside job
of
controlled
demolition
yet?
If
not,
what
else
will
it
take?
Thomas McCarthy, a Chief in F.D.N.Y, gave a statement regarding hearing repeated and
steady blasts while he was at the WTC-7. He said to an interviewer for the F.D.N.Y:
A. So at that point we were a little leery about how the bridge was tied in, so no one was
really going onto it, and then they were also saying 7 was going to come down. They
chased everyone off the block.
Q. You said before, Chief. That you heard bullets going off. Approximately how many did
you hear?
A. Oh, it was like it was just constant. Constant. Whatever, I guess there were packages or
something, and as they heated up, they were just pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. They
were going off like at a steady rate.15
Do you really think those were bullets cooking off at a “constant” and “steady rate?” Or,
is it more likely, given the other mounds of supporting evidence and
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 203
corroborative witness statements, that it was cutting charges firing and shearing off the
column supports?
Analytical Comparisons to other Demolition Events.
There are several common factors for determining if a building collapse is the result of a
controlled demolition event. Dr. David Ray Griffin, Ph.D., writing in his book 9/11
Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions provided these identifying criteria:
1. Each WTC building spontaneously collapsed at near free fall speed.
2. Each building collapsed symmetrically straight down, into its own footprint.
3. Virtually all of the building concrete was reduced to a fine dust.
4. In the case of the Twin Towers, dust was blown horizontally outward for 200 feet or
more.16
5. The collapses were total, leaving no steel columns sticking up hundreds of feet into the
air.
6. Videos of the collapses reveal “demolition waves” or “confluent rows of small explosions.”
7. Most of the steel beams and supports came down in sections that were no larger than 30
feet long and broken at the joints.17
8. Witnesses, including many F.D.N.Y. firefighters and their officers, on the ground and in
the buildings reported hearing, feeling and seeing the effects of massive explosions
occurring within the upper and underground levels of the buildings.
9. Each collapse was also associated with strong seismic vibrations18 detected on local university
Richter scales that were suggestive of multiple and strong sequenced underground
explosions prior to the registering of collapse energy.19
10. Each collapse produced underground debris areas of molten steel – up to 1400°F (much
hotter than a smothered, oxygen-deprived hydrocarbon-based fire could produce), the
temperature aluminum melts, commonly produced by explosives – resulting in intense
hotspots, despite massive and sustained efforts to extinguish the subterranean fires with
water and high-tech chemical methods.20 Such prolonged hot temperatures, in oxygen
starved environments are
NASA thermal image of WTC ground zero on 9/16: Red-orange areas are the hottest
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 204
not characteristic of standard collapses, only high order explosives like C-4,21
Czechoslovakian Simtex, or thermite account for such high residual heat. Controlled
Demolitions Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix,
Maryland, was asked about the report of molten steel on the site. "Yes," he said, "hot spots
of molten steel in the basements." These incredibly hot areas were found "at the bottoms of
the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven [basement] levels," Loizeaux said. The
molten steel was found "three, four, and five weeks later, when the rubble was being
removed," Loizeaux said. He said molten steel was also found at 7 WTC, which collapsed
mysteriously in the late afternoon.22
11. Thermite doesn’t explode rapidly like C-4 or other demolition explosives, but in its exothermic
reaction, generates extremely intense high heat with temperatures reaching up to 2500°C
(4500°F).23 The mixture of aluminum powder and iron oxide burns only moderately fast,
giving off heat well in excess of that required to melt steel. What’s more, it creates its own
oxygen supply by consuming the iron oxide and cannot be smothered or extinguished by
water. This potential source is one of the only few things that can account for the immense
heat that was being generated for weeks in the aftermath of the fall of all three WTC
buildings.24
12. Traditional Demolition with Explosives often produces a noticeable kink, or fault line, in the
building structure as the central core is demolished with cutting charges, and the outer walls
fall inwards to the center, preventing or minimizing the damage to surrounding buildings.
Additionally, eruptions of smoke and debris from the base of the building and streams of
smoke from cutting charges are often seen in classic demolition video footage. Textbook

Important Questions to Consider.
If you conclude alternatively that WTC-7 was a controlled demolition, you then have to
ask several painful questions:
1. Who had the motive, or the most to gain, from placing demolition explosives
throughout the building in the first place?
2. If there were explosives placed in the WTC-7 building, is it more or less likely
that there were also explosives placed in the WTC Twin Towers? The level of
coincidence increases dramatically the likelihood that, despite what reservations
about WTC-1 and WTC-2 and controlled demolition you may have, it is
exceptionally more likely than not, that all three buildings were wired for
demolition by people who had access to the buildings over an extended period of
time.
3. Is it common for high rise buildings to be pre-wired to aid in their eventual
destruction? If so, why weren’t the building tenants and employees informed that
their workplace was wired for demolition? Are other New York buildings
currently pre-wired for controlled demolition? Are insurance companies aware
that high-rise structures are pre-wired?
4. The buildings had to be wired and charges placed for demolition just
immediately prior to 9/11. High-explosives decompose and deteriorate over time,
making them unstable and capable of premature or involuntary detonation. It
would not be plausible to believe that the building could be, or ever would be, prewired and set to be demolished under New York building codes. Demolition
techniques also use personnel called burners to precut the steel and strategically
weaken the steel support beams in traditional controlled demolition prior to
placing the specially designed shaped cutting charges and then the final “kicker”
charges to knock out the final support for the cut beams.
5. Why did the building have to be hurriedly and needlessly demolished at
Silverstein’s orders on the same day as WTC-1 and WTC-2 if they were truly
unrelated events? WTC-7 tenants included at the time: Securities and Exchange
Commission, the FBI, the CIA, the Secret Service, and the New
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 206
York Crisis Response Command Center. The heavily damaged WTC-6 was not
pulled the same day as the other building collapses. WTC-6 was officially
demolished with explosives several months afterwards. Why couldn’t the
demolition WTC-7 wait until search and rescue operations were complete? What
was the reason for urgency to demolish WTC-7 that didn’t exist for the more
heavily damaged WTC-6? What was being hidden, or destroyed?
6. Did the Twin Towers fall in a manner consistent with the collapse of WTC-7,
and if they did, is it consistent with controlled demolition based on the evidence
presented and also from the witness statements of many (heroic and beyond
reproach) firefighters and also upon Silverstein’s own admission of “pulling”
WTC-7?
7. How could Osama bin Laden, a prominent member of the bin Laden family, a
leading Saudi family with long and close financial ties to the Bush family through
Halliburton, the Carlyle Group, and others, direct an operation from a remote
mountain cave in Afghanistan?
8. Why were bin Laden family members secretly shepherded out of the country
during the FAA no-flight period immediately just after 9/11 without interrogating
them about their brother or his possible whereabouts?
9. Why would the U.S. fabricate, or accept a fabrication, of Osama bin Laden’s
alleged 9/11 confession with an obvious and poor look-alike? The phony
confession Osama was shown in poor quality video, with obvious facial
inconsistencies, wearing a gold ring and watch in violation of Islam, especially
puritanical Wahabi Islam and also shown as right-handed, in contrast to the real
Osama being left-handed. Remember, the Niger yellowcake uranium documents
were also poorly forged and accepted by the U.S. to justify the Iraq war, there is a
clear pattern to U.S. behavior.
10. Can an Al-Qaeda cell consisting of a rag-tag team of 19 members wire three
high-rise buildings, a total of 267 floors, with enough high-explosives
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 207
without being detected and no prior experience or training? While also planning
and training for aircraft hijackings?
11. Would Al-Qaeda send out numerous warnings to people and companies
(including two Israeli owned businesses), advising them not to fly that day or to
evacuate the WTC buildings before the attacks?
12. Could Al-Qaeda effectively cause the U.S. military to stand-down, be
dumbfounded, or know of the five simultaneous military drills that were
occurring that morning? Could Al-Qaeda prevent the Pentagon missile batteries
from engaging the aircraft while over Washington D.C.? Could Al-Qaeda prevent
the White House missile batteries from engaging the attacking aircraft?
13. Could Al-Qaeda know that the ANG fighter wings from Andrews would not be
used to defend Washington D.C.? Could Al-Qaeda keep the U.S. fighters from
using their top speeds to intercept suspect aircraft?
14. Could Al-Qaeda schedule a large scale FEMA drill in New York City
conveniently to begin on 9/12?
15. Why were all of the aircraft involved in the attacks only filled with 20% of
capacity of passengers on flights that are normally filled at a minimum of 80%
capacity? Why were none of the hijackers Arab names listed on the flight
manifests?
16. Why was the wreckage of Flight 93 spread out over so large a distance, in some
instances several miles from the impact site? Why was their so little aircraft
debris at the impact site, insufficient to account for the mass of a commercial
jetliner? Was Flight 93 shot down as the evidence and several eyewitness
statements suggest? Why were no bodies recovered at the Flight 93 crash site?
17. Why was the United States, immediately prior to and after 9/11, meeting with
Pakistani ISI spy chief Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad, the man who had just wired
Mohamed Atta $100,000?25 On 9/11 Lt. General Ahmad, the 9/11 money man,
was having breakfast with Senator Bob Graham and Rep. Porter Goss (future CIA
Director), chairmen of the Senate and House
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 208
Intelligence committees. Why did the U.S. continue to work with the 9/11
financial mastermind through the Afghanistan invasion until India disclosed his
ties to Al Qaeda? Why has this direct financial link between the Pakistani ISI and
Al Qaeda been virtually dropped like a proverbial hot potato by the 9/11
Commission and the mainstream media? Could it possibly be that both the ISI
and Al Qaeda are “intelligence assets” of the CIA?26 Recently, a Pentagon
employee has come forward with details on how he was ordered to destroy
documents identifying Mohamed Atta as a terrorist two years before the attacks
on 9/11. Could this be part of a coverup to obscure Atta’s prior involvement as a
CIA asset, code named Able Danger,27 and that, in complete refutation of the
government’s official story, there was no intelligence failure regarding the CIA
and Al Qaeda, or Al CIA’da?28
18. Did the government or military purposefully withhold fighter protection or
willfully create the massive confusion caused by the exercises and drills to allow
the aircraft to strike the buildings and then lie to the American people and coverup the real cause of the attacks and the collapses?
19. Why has the mainstream media and news outlets been in full dereliction of
their duty as watch-dogs on the government by not investigating the attacks
deeper beyond the whitewash of the 9/11 Commission and in full mouthpiece
mode for the government? Why has the media not held the administration
accountable to not pursuing Osama bin Laden, the alleged mastermind of the
government’s version of the attacks?
That is a good start at the questions to be posed to the government. The answers are
already clear and dreadfully and horrifically obvious. You’ve been conned by the
government, and as an accessory after the fact, by the media. You now know in your
heart, in your bones, and in your soul the evil and heinous truth. Criminal elements,
entrenched within and occupying key positions of influence and power in the U.S.

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 209
This government mafia of protection extortionists manipulated the visceral emotions of
the trauma of 9/11 for malevolent political and economic gain, and also to railroad and
buffalo the public through the false promise of security and protection into accepting the
multitude of events and laws that have transpired since 9/11, such as the draconian
Patriot Act, Homeland Security, Real ID Act, as well as the Afghan and Iraq wars. There
is also another possible reason for 9/11, an even uglier and treasonous possibility, a
possible coup d’état and the decapitation of the Congress to lead directly to an
imposition of martial law. You have to assume the very worst from this attack from
within, for the stakes of failure and of being discovered were too big. If these elements
were going to go as far as this attack was planned for, then you have to assume that they
were going for full seizure of the government. Don’t believe it? Then why did The
Washington Post write about it on March 2, 2002 that Congress wasn’t aware of the
Shadow Government in the face of the 9/11 attacks:
Key congressional leaders said yesterday the White House did not tell them that President
Bush has moved a cadre of senior civilian managers to secret underground sites outside
Washington to ensure that the federal government could survive a devastating terrorist
attack on the nation's capital. Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) said he
had not been informed about the role, location or even the existence of the shadow
government that the administration began to deploy the morning of the Sept. 11
hijackings. An aide to House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) said he
similarly was unaware of the administration's move. 29
If you accept the later, and more plausible explanation, then the ENTIRE government
official theory of 9/11 turns on its head and collapses upon itself, and you have to point
the inquiry inwards to U.S. complicity. The government also helped to cover it up with
its delaying of the 9/11 Commission, under-funding the Commission, stacking the
Commission members with substantive conflicts of interest and also obstructionist
members, with the destruction of evidence from the crime scene(s), the suppression of
SEC investigations into insider trading on 9/11 affected companies. It’s an all or nothing
proposition. Do you now see why WTC-7 is the keystone to the argument? Do you see
now
why
the
9/11
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 210
Commission didn’t even make mention of it in its 2004 report? If you have any doubts
whatsoever about the real cause of the collapse of WTC-7, then it immediately casts
doubt and suspicion upon the government explanation of the causes of the rest of the
events of 9/11. Failure to comprehend the importance of this argument can only be
attributed as psychological denial, or as Orwell characterized, “protective stupidity.”
Critical Decision Time.
For a moment, imagine that you are seated on a U.S. Federal Grand Jury panel. The
mountain of evidence is overwhelming, persuasive, and very compelling. You are
presented with three choices, one being the ‘official theory’ promulgated by the
government that the building fell due to a combination of fire damage and structural
damage from WTC-1 and WTC-2 collapses. The first scenario is dismissed due to the
characteristics of minimal fires observed, minimal collateral impact damage compared
to other, closer, affected buildings, extremely credible direct witness statements of
explosives detonating, and the blundering confession of the primary leaseholder of
ordering the “pulling” of the building.
Another second scenario is presented by Larry Silverstein’s PBS documentary admission
about “pulling” the building. The theory is that the F.D.N.Y. has a crack team of elite
building demolition experts that can wire an unfamiliar building, currently on fire and
smoke filled, in the midst of a national emergency and military crisis, in the midst of
hundreds of thousands of tons of debris from WTC-1 and WTC-2 scattered around, in a
moments notice. The theory also presumes that this team would also giving up pursuing
search and rescue operations, including searching for their own brother firefighters, and
then, surrounded with all the chaos of the debris, inaccessible streets, fleeing New
Yorkers, broken bodies and parts strewn around, unrecognizable remains from panic
stricken building jumpers, power outages, and ruined firefighting support gear, and
physically affected by exhaustion, shock, and also by thick clouds of choking smoke,
soot,
and
hazardous
dust,
they
would
carefully
and
quickly
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 211
implode the building to the highest degree of precision to fit perfectly into its own
footprint…all within a few minutes or hours notice, and all at the request of some civilian
building landlord. Both of these scenarios are outrageously ludicrous and fully
disingenuous.
Under normal conditions, demolishing a building with explosives is a very hazardous,
technical, and highly precise process which takes veteran industry professionals, at a
minimum, several weeks, and up to a few months to plan, seek government approval,
wire and position charges, and then execute the demolition for a large steel-framed
building – in an already gutted and prepared building. It is completely incredulous to
believe that this crack team of the F.D.N.Y. would immediately stop all their rescue
efforts with thousands of dead victims and casualties, crushed, dismembered, and torn
bodies, including their own brother firefighters laying around them, to hurriedly set up
and implode a 47 story steel building with the highest levels of precision. Not only that,
but is it believable that the F.D.N.Y would even have in its possession or immediate
access to on a disaster like this, enough high explosives to level a 47-story steel-framed
building? Come on, wake up! If you don’t accept that hypothesis, then you must accept
that the building was pre-planned to be destroyed and wired with high-explosives
PRIOR to the 9/11 attack. Any other theory but the latter is absurd to the most extreme.
When you have eliminated the impossible,
whatever remains, however improbable,
must be the truth.

The faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous

In short...protective stupidity.

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 215
Chapter 8: The 9/11 Omission Report – Follow the Money
It leads everywhere. Get out your notebook. There's more. Forget the myths the media's
created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got
out of hand. In a conspiracy like this, you build from the outer edges and go step by step.
You tell me what you know, and I'll confirm. I'll keep you in the right direction if I can, but
that's all. Just... follow the money.
~ Deep Throat, All the President’s Men.
There are so many numerous and serious objections to the 9/11 Commission Report that
I will not cover them in this paper, but if you are interested in a very thorough and
scathing critique, I highly recommend the new book by Dr. David Ray Griffin, The 9/11
Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions. In 2005, Dr. Griffin has written a
follow-up analysis that provides 115 critical and harsh objections to the report.1
Budgetary Comparisons to Other Commissions.
One key indicator of how serious the 9/11 Commission was in performing its duties, and
in “leaving no stone unturned” in its investigation is by a cost comparison of the 9/11
Kean Commission to other large-scale disaster investigations and scandal inquiries and
the amount budgeted for the pursuit of the truth in those inquiries. For example,
consider these cost figures for other Congressional high-level investigations and the
major event(s) that precipitated them:
1. 1963 JFK Assassination - Warren Commission: budgeted with $5.5 million (1963 dollars
adjusted for inflation: $32 million).
2. 1986 Challenger Shuttle Disaster – Rogers Commission final cost: $50 - $60 million – the
Rogers Commission was organized the next day after the disaster.
3. Iran-Contra – Tower Commission: final cost $47.4 million.
4. Oklahoma City Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building Investigation: $60 - $89 million.2
Lies, Omissions, Distortions
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 216
5. 1996 TWA Flight 800 NTSB and FBI final cost of investigation and reports: $31.4 - $40 million.
6. Ken Star & Clinton Whitewater and Lewinsky Perjury/Impeachment Investigations: $60-$70
million.3
7. 2003 Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster: final cost $20 to $30 million.
8. 9/11 World Trade Center & Pentagon Attacks: Originally given a budget of only $3 million and
began almost 413 days after the attacks, after considerable Bush Administration foot-dragging
efforts to attempt to block and delay the authorization. The final estimated cost of the commission
and investigation research – a paltry $12 to $15 million.
When a space shuttle blows up, the government dredges the ocean floor or they scour the
entire state of Texas and they reassemble the vehicle to determine the cause. When
TWA-800 exploded and went down, the ocean was again dredged and the aircraft
painstakingly reassembled as much as was possible by the NTSB in a warehouse to
determine the mysterious cause of its mid-air breakup. With the events of 9/11, the
buildings criminal evidence of the steel framing was hurriedly shipped overseas for
melting down. It wasn’t even properly analyzed for insurance and future design and
building construction purposes.
The 9/11 Commission was initially budgeted $3 million for an investigation of the worst
alleged foreign attack upon the U.S.? Does an initial $3 million starvation bare-bones
budget sound sufficient to conduct an investigation worthy of an event of the historical
precedent, scope, and magnitude of the 9/11 attacks? No, it does not. It operated on a
shoestring budget, operated on the cheap.4 They had to beg, plead, and finally be
publicly shamed by the 9/11 survivors families to allocate additional funding extensions.
For another outrageous and ridiculous comparisons to the 9/11 Commission budget, in
1996, a Congressional Commission to study the effects of gambling was given funding of
$5 million,5 in 1994 Congress allocated $20 million to study the feasibility and
desirability of relocating salmon in the Columbia and Snake Rivers in Washington
State.6 Migratory fish got more funding than 9/11. Make the leap, connect the dots. It’s a
coverup.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 217
The 9/11 Commission is Discredited.
The legal maxim, fraud vitiates everything, is applicable to the 9/11 Commission Report.
In addition to being woefully underfunded, the 9/11 Commission has been roundly
criticized and discredited on a number of fronts, and despite its claims to be thorough, it
was anything but. Just a brief listing of the concerns exposes serious issues with the
report. They include, but by no means are limited to the following: The 9/11 Commission
investigation was vigorously stonewalled by the Bush Administration and highly
resisted, it was vigorously delayed from being empanelled over 400 days, an important
indication of perpetrating a cover-up.7
The time delay was especially crucial to investigators and forensic specialists to analyze
the debris, but in the delay, the evidence was cleaned up, shipped out, and melted down
in overseas smelters and the site at ground-zero was scoured clean. Arson, bombing, or
murder scenes are not routinely investigated over a year after the crime has occurred.
The Administration withheld crucial documents from the Commission investigators8 and
the Commission allowed both President Bush and Vice-President Cheney to appear
jointly in closed session and not under oath, with attorneys present.9 Evidence and
alternative theories ignored, and hearings were often conducted in secret session. It
refused to allow the firefighters to testify in open session,10 9/11 Commissioner member
Max Cleland resigned from the position in disgust claiming "Bush is scamming
America…As each day goes by, we learn that this government knew a whole lot more
about these terrorists before September 11 than it has ever admitted.”11
The Commission failed to correct the FBI report of 19 Arab hijackers involved on 9/11
which it was later discovered that of the 19 listed by the FBI, 5-7 of them are still alive
and breathing. Hijackers do not survive a 400+ mph crash into steel buildings, erupting

conglomeration that would lead two massive building collapses, and walk away from
them unscathed, over the Atlantic Ocean and on another continent. It just doesn’t
happen, but if you believe the government explanation, you have to, because the
government’s story depends on it. That’s a fundamental mistake or the very least an
oversight. The Commission factually mischaracterized the central core structure of the
WTC buildings as “hollow” when they were actually composed of massive 47 steel
columns. The Commission also erroneously reported that “no foreign government was
involved,” yet completely disregards the critical evidence of the role of the Pakistani
intelligence agency, the ISI, in wiring Mohammed Atta $100,000 just prior to the attacks
and the moneyman met with key U.S. officials the week of 9/11.
Crucial Forensic Evidence Destroyed.
Key forensic evidence from the 9/11 crime scenes was destroyed, including the massive
tonnage of steel framework of the WTC buildings that was hurriedly shipped under
armed guard and with GPS tracking12 to China and Korea for melting down without the
benefit of a proper and professional forensic examination.13 Who facilitated and
expedited the destruction of the crime scene evidence? Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, an exprosecutor who inherently knows the forensic value of crime scene evidence and the
importance of preservation. Of the entire mass of the WTC-1, WTC-2, and WTC-7, only
about 200 pieces were recovered for any sort of scientific analysis or forensic
reconstruction. The rest was hurriedly hauled away and the sites scrubbed, illegally. This
is a pitiful and unprofessional recovery of crime scene evidence, probably even less than
th
1/100,000 of the total mass of the buildings. Additionally, the evidence that was
retrieved wasn’t even gathered from the ground-zero WTC sites, it had to be recovered
from the landfills that the debris was delivered to prior to shipping overseas, which is
also a crucial break in the evidentiary chain.
Such removals from crime scenes of critically important material evidence are usually
very serious crimes, but after 9/11, expediency was the sole reason given
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 219
for the cleanup, not the preservation of evidence for criminal or future engineering
analysis. For a contrasting example, in Feb 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia STS-107
broke apart on reentry over Texas and the debris was protected under federal law. No
piece of debris could be recovered by private citizens for souvenirs or any other reason,
and several people were arrested looting the wreckage.14 The reentry path was heavily
grid-searched and most of the shuttle and crew remains were recovered. Volunteer
investigators from FEMA, ASCE, and NIST did not have access to the World Trade
Center blueprints, access to the Ground Zero crime scenes, and had very poor funding to
carry out their technical investigations which would be absolutely fundamental in an
honest and thorough engineering analysis.15 It would also be critically important in any
computer models and simulations. The 9/11 Widows advocacy group even lambasted the
report, calling it a failure, and had as presenters several from the 9/11 Truth movement
several of them cited in this book including, ex-CIA agent Ray McGovern, Morgan
Reynolds, and Dr. David Ray Griffin, who outlined 115 critical errors, omissions, and
misrepresentations in the 9/11 Report.16
James Quintiere, a Fire Engineering Professor at the Univ. of Maryland also severely
criticized the scientific investigation into the collapses and claimed that the National
Transportation Safety Board, the usual agency that handles airline crashes, and the
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Dept., should have been the primary investigating
agencies due to their impartiality, broad access to resources, and thoroughness, and not
politically assigned to an ad hoc group of part-time and volunteer engineers from FEMA
with no access to the site, and control over the evidence.17 It’s the equivalent of putting
the varsity team on the bench and fielding the freshman junior-varsity practice team for
the most important game of the season. Quintiere writes:
I expected the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to head the investigations.
It's noted for its thoroughness, objectivity and know-how with respect to large-scale
disasters.
But
it
was
relegated
to

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 220
the two hijacked aircraft and the aircraft debris. The buildings were not to be within the
scope of their investigation.
There is an ad hoc investigative group, which is sponsored by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and the American Society of Civil Engineers. But it does not have the
full resources that might be made available, nor does it control the site.
I became increasingly concerned the more I learned about the investigative process, or
lack of one. The site teams at the towers were focused on rescue, retrieval and cleanup, not
investigation. The structural steel pieces, coded with chalk and stamped numbers to
indicate their building location, were being sold as scrap metal.
The evidence needed to identify the cause of the collapse and intensity of the fire was
being lost. Had the NTSB or ATF been involved, the site would have been secured,
evidence documented and protected. Remember how the pieces of TWA Flight 800 were
brought up from the ocean bottom off Long Island and restored to preserve structural
evidence essential to identifying the cause of the 1996 crash?18
Bill Manning, in the prestigious magazine Fire Engineering, a 125-year journal of record
for fire engineers and firefighters and recognized experts in fire analysis and arson
investigation said the investigation was a “half-baked face.” Regarding the destruction of
crime scene evidence he said:
Such destruction of evidence shows the astounding ignorance of government officials to
the value of a thorough, scientific investigation of the largest fire-induced collapse in
world history…Fire Engineering has good reason to believe that the "official investigation"
blessed by FEMA and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is a half-baked farce
that may already have been commandeered by political forces whose primary interests, to
put it mildly, lie far afield of full disclosure. Except for the marginal benefit obtained from
a three-day, visual walk-through of evidence sites conducted by ASCE investigation
committee members-described by one close source as a "tourist trip"-no one's checking
the
evidence
for
anything.19
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 221
The FAA and NORAD Lied to the 9/11 Commission.
The FAA and NORAD were so unwilling to assist the commission that subpoenas were
required to be issued to get them to release documents. Initially, witnesses were not even
sworn under oath to testify to avoid possibility of perjury. Senator Mark Dayton D-MN
excoriated the 9/11 Commission, the FAA, and NORAD when he stated in the 9/11
Congressional Hearings in particularly harsh language that the Commission’s Report is
especially troubling and that government officials egregiously covered-up and lied in
their testimony:
It is a profoundly disturbing report because it chronicles in excruciating detail the terrible
attack against our homeland, the despicable murder of so many American citizens and the
horrible destruction to countless other lives and liberties throughout this nation.
And because of the utter failure to defend them [American citizens] by their federal
government, by their leaders, and the institutions that were entrusted to do so and
because of serious discrepancies between the facts that you've set forth and what was
told to the American people, to members of Congress, and to your own Commission by
those, some of those authorities.
Yes, it was a surprise attack. It was unprecedented. Yes, it exposed serious flaws and as
you noted our imagination, our policies, capabilities and our management designs but
what I find much more shocking and alarming were the repeated and catastrophic failures
of the leaders of the leaders in charge, and the other people responsible, to do their jobs.
To follow established procedures.
To follow direct orders from civilian and military commanders.
And then they failed to tell us the truth later.
Yet NORAD's public chronology of 9/18/01 and their Commission testimony 20 months
later covered up those truths. They lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and
they lied to your 9/11 Commission to create a false impression of competence,
communication,
coordination
and
protection
of
the
American
people.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 222
And we can set up all the oversight possible at great additional cost to the American
taxpayers and it won't be worth an Enron pension if the people responsible lie to us; if
they take the records and doctor them into falsehoods, and if they get away with it. For
almost three years now NORAD officials and FAA officials have been able to hide their
critical failures that left this country defenseless during two of the worst hours in our
history.20 [My emphasis]
Why weren’t these government officials charged with perjury? Physical evidence from
the FAA of radio and electronic communications between the hijacked planes and
ground control were subsequently destroyed, using extraordinary measures, by the
managers.21 Why weren’t these officials charged with obstruction of justice, with
destruction of evidence? One of the managers involved in the destruction deliberately
crushed the tape, cut it with scissors, and then scattered the bits and pieces on various
trash canisters to later disposal.22 This extraordinary level of evidence destruction by
government officials, obstruction, is very suspicious. Fraud vitiates everything.
To this day, the Pentagon continues to obstruct follow-up investigations related to 9/11
and the terror cell operating in the U.S. regarding classified intelligence project Able
Danger and its connections to Mohamed Atta.23 Representative Curt Weldon R-PA
forcefully proclaimed that the 9/11 Commission performed as if it was engaged in a
coverup to shield the Bush Administration and the Defense Department. Those are
typically carefully weighed words and are not bandied around casually by elected
officials. He said:
Mr. Speaker, there is something here. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but there is
something desperately wrong, Mr. Speaker. There is something outrageous at work here.
This is not a third-rate burglary of a political campaign headquarters. This involved what
is right now the covering up of information that led to the deaths of 3,000 people,
changed the course of history, led to the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and has
disrupted
our
country,
our
economy
and
people's
lives.24
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 223
In another angry, exasperated interview, Rep. Weldon pushes harder and ups the verbal
ante regarding the coverup from the DOD and the 9/11 Commission, stating has proven:
“…to be a disappointment and a failure, especially as it pertains to Able Danger.” [Possible
explanations for this failure, says Weldon, include] “gross incompetence either on the
part of the Commissioners or the Commission staff, or both,” or more alarmingly, “a
deliberate cover-up that would make the Watergate scandal pale in comparison, expose
even more blunders prior to 9/11 and point to a wider coverup. In two months, my
limited staff has done what 80 staffers at the Commission and $15 million failed to do. In
fact, when the New York Times broke this story in early August of this year, the 9/11
Commission was put in the uncomfortable position of having each of its successively
evolving responses rebutted by newly emerging facts. Each time the Commission changed
its story, it brought further discredit upon its work. The 9/11 Commission did not do its
job, did not complete its assignment, either through gross incompetence or deliberate
omission. If the evidence were to point towards some sort of cover-up, the American
people would be outraged beyond description.25 [My emphasis]
Representative Weldon has also gone so far as to mention that it may require a
“Commission to investigate the Commission.”26 Not exactly a glowing recommendation
regarding the credibility, thoroughness, and independence of the Commission. Fraud
vitiates everything. Suspicion must necessarily always fall on those who attempt to
silence their opponents by legally gagging them under some thinly veiled claim of
“national security,” or by hiding their testimony from public scrutiny. The government
by its actions or its numerous omissions acts like the guilty party.
The 9/11 Commission spent just enough and investigated just enough to give the
appearance of doing something, without actually conducting a proper investigation. It
was nothing other than a total white wash. It was as if the syndicate mafia’s consigliere
conducted the investigation of the mafia boss’s crimes. Finally, as if having one last
chance to prevent anything embarrassing from being released inadvertently in the
commission’s findings, the entire Report was vetted, screened beforehand, to the White
House
before
being
released
to
the

public. Ray McGovern, a former CIA officer wrote of the stink of the Commission and its
results:
the whole name of the game is to exculpate anyone in the establishment…why is it that
after all this evidence and months and months of testimony, the commission found itself
unable even to say if the attacks could have been prevented? This commission is not
representative of America or of the families of those who died in 9/11. It is an
archetypically establishment body, consisting of people who, with the exception of a token
white woman, look exactly like me. They are all lawyers or politicians or both – and all
acceptable to Vice President Cheney, who didn’t want a commission in the first place. The
result is facile, mischievous, and disingenuous.27
Millions Waking Up from the Mass Deception of 9/11.
Many other Americans are waking up to the government lies. The American public has
little confidence in the results of the 9/11 Commission as well. A Zogby International poll
released in August 2004 indicated that only 36% believed the Commission has fulfilled
its duty and 66% called for a new independent investigation into the 9/11 tragedy:
Less than two in five (36%) believe that the 9/11 Commission had "answered all the
important questions about what actually happened on September 11th," and two in three
(66%) New Yorkers (and 56.2% overall) called for another full investigation of the "still
unanswered questions" by Congress.28
Even more ominous for the ‘Official Version,’ the same poll indicates that nearly 50% of
New Yorkers polled believed the government had foreknowledge of the attacks and that
it “consciously failed to act” to prevent the attacks. Half of New York City’s 8.1 million
people, 4 million, believe there is a cover-up by the government. Zogby again says:
On the eve of a Republican National Convention invoking 9/11 symbols, sound bytes and
imagery, half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York 9/11 Ground Zero
protesters
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 225
citizens overall say that some of our leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned
on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act.29
On November 11, 2004, CNN hosted an online poll during the Anderson Cooper Show
and asked the question if there was a 9/11 cover-up by the government: Out of 10,641
respondents, nearly 90% polled concluded that there was a cover-up by the
government.30 In Nov. 23, 2005, the Wall Street Journal/Harris Polling determined that
nearly 64% of the people polled believed that the administration misleads them on
current issues to achieve its own ends.31 That is pure Machiavellian reasoning, “the ends
justify the means.” People are waking up to the lies of the Administration. If the
government has lied about the reasons for invading Iraq, fabricated Niger yellow-cake
evidence, lied about WMD’s, lied about the Iraq-Al Qaeda linkage, lied about using
torture methods on Iraqi prisoners, lied about using chemical phosphorus weapons in
the assault on Fallujah, lie, lie, lie. It’s just one Big Lie after another.
Why would any reasonable person give them any ounce of credibility when it comes to
9/11 when there are plainly SO many holes, so many inconsistencies in the government
explanation, so many instances of verbal slip-ups, instances of blatant foot dragging,
destruction of evidence, obstruction, and cover-up? Even in the classic fable of the Boy
Who Cried Wolf, the villagers only gave the false crier two opportunities when he lied.
What else are they lying about? Connect the dots and make the critical leap of faith, look
into your blind spot to see the truth. If the U.S. government is not at a minimum
complicit and at a maximum in full control of the events of 9/11 in some manner, then
what is the reason for orchestrating and maintaining a cover-up? Who would manage a
cover-up
in

endeavor?
Only
the

TRAITORS would engage in a cover-up.
Many prominent former government officials, with considerable stature and reputation,
upon whom the dismissive label “conspiracy theorist” is not usually applied, and others
with a close connection to government operations and the intelligence community, as
well as scientists have come forward to give their interpretation and analysis of the fraud
of the government’s 9/11 version of events including such notables as: former German
Minister of Defense Andreas von Bülow, former British Parliament MP Michael
Meacher, former British Intelligence MI5 agent David Shayler, CIA translator Sibel
Edmonds, Paul Craig Roberts, Dr. Morgan Reynolds, FBI Agent Colleen Rowley, FBI
agents ordered not to pursue Osama bin Laden prior to 9/11, Rep. Ron Paul R-TX, Rep.
Cynthia McKinney, D-GA, Prof. David Ray Griffin, BYU Physicist Stephen Jones,32
Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Kevin Ryan – former Underwriters Laboratories, former FBI
Director Louis Freeh,33 Rep. Curt Weldon R-PA, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern,
David Schippers, Jack McLamb, and more that become emboldened and confident to
speak
out.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 227
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it
comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these
proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for
bringing the many under the domination of the few.
~ President James Madison,
Father of the U.S. Constitution34

Warning by the Watchman unto the House
If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the
people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the
sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the
sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that
taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow
not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person
from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the
watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I
say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn
the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I
require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if
he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

In the movie, Three Days of the Condor, a 1975 spy thriller starring Robert Redford, an
unusually prophetic conversation takes place between Redford’s character and a CIA
director. It could just as well be a conversation about today’s geopolitical reality and it is
very descriptive of the possible Peak Oil motive, tucked away in the secret Cheney
Energy meetings held in 2000 for the criminal plans and actions of our (s)elected
leaders and oligopolies.
Higgins: It's simple economics. Today it's oil, right? In ten or fifteen years, food.
Plutonium. Maybe even sooner. Now, what do you think the people are gonna want us to

Joe Turner (Redford): Ask them?
Higgins: Not now - then! Ask 'em when they're running out. Ask 'em when there's no heat
in their homes and they're cold. Ask 'em when their engines stop. Ask 'em when people
who have never known hunger start going hungry. You wanna know something? They
won't want us to ask 'em. They'll just want us to get it for 'em! 1
Denial and the “Conspiracy Theory” Smear Tactic.
Conspiracy theories were, until relatively recently, something not scoffed at and
ridiculed. Amongst the greatest of America’s founding documents, the Declaration of
Independence is a document filled with accusations of conspiracy by England’s King
George III to subjugate the colonies with tyranny and extralegal authority. According to
Collins Sociological Dictionary, a “conspiracy theory” is only to be considered suspect or
reprehensible if it meets two conditions. First, if it is delivered in an outlandish,
irrational manner, and secondly, if it is delivered without decent or credible evidence.2 I
hope
that
in
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 232
your judgment I have satisfied those conditions in the arguments and with the evidence
presented and cited. All of the amazing coincidences, the fate alignments of the stars,
and perpetual errors of incompetence have been stretched beyond the breaking point in
credibility.
Conspiracies are not just a topic or plot device for movies, they are real. The media and
popular culture has done an excellent job of creating the grand archetypal image in the
public mind of the “conspiracy theorist” as someone being some secluded, tin-foil hat
wearing, and talking-to-themselves mental case. The put-down of someone who believed
in black unmarked helicopters was meant to discredit and alienate those who reported
them as kooks and unbalanced. Images of the disaffected, eccentric, and persecuted
loner portrayed by Mel Gibson in the movie Conspiracy Theory, or by the quirky band
and social outcasts of paranormal FBI investigators Fox Mulder and Dana Skully from
the X-Files, and spin-off series of the Lone Gunmen perpetuate a caricature to discredit
serious investigative work, despite the fact the shows like the X-Files were among the
most successful on TV, they struck a chord within society that recognized that there are
elements within the government that is up to no good.
Surveys of people have consistently demonstrated that a large majority, between 70-80%
believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, if he was indeed involved at all, and
that there was a concerted effort to cover-up what really happened.3 Cover-ups go handin-hand with conspiracies. Take for example, the attempted cover-up by the Vatican of
the Roman Catholic Church of the priest pedophilia scandal that has rocked the church
both spiritually and financially. All have served to create the predisposition of abnormal
behavior in considering these so-called outlandish and “beyond-the-pale” theories.
Besides using compartmentalization, other methods to achieve silence and secrecy are
often effective, such as bribery, coercion, and abject threats of death (or
excommunication) have proven to be prime tools to secure secrecy and obedient
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 233
compliance. They also receive valuable assistance in keeping their secrets and their
identities out of the mainstream media.
Isn’t it brazenly - up in your face - obvious by now? The truths as I have presented here
are very ugly, but they must be faced lest we continue living in denial. The attacks of
9/11, in addition to being an operation of near perfect military precision, were the most
massive and successful exercise in psyops (psychological operation), ever devised. They
were orchestrated by an enemy within the fortress gates, and as history demonstrates, a
concealed enemy within the gates is more dangerous than the known enemy outside the
castle walls. The Roman orator and statesman Cicero spoke that “A nation can survive its
fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at
the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the
traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all
the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.” The 9/11 attacks were a “shock
and awe” of the grandest scale upon the American public, and the world, as a pretext for
the biggest power grab for world domination and empire since the earliest grabs for
world domination beginning from the biblical recordings of the construction of fabled
Nimrod’s Tower of Babel, to Egyptian Pharaoh’s Dynasties and Babylonian rulers such
as Nebuchadnezzar, the sweeping Mongol hordes of Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great,
the Caesar’s of Imperial Rome, Napoleon Bonaparte, and the planned 1000-year Reich
of Adolf Hitler.
The attacks on 9/11 were so ambitious, audacious, and grandiose in scale that anyone
attempting to rationally explain any inconsistencies in the fraudulent “official theory”
would be mockingly labeled a “conspiracy theorist,” and warrant an instant out-of-hand
dismissal from credible debate and thoughtful inquiry. That fraudulent argument is
nothing other than a weak-minded attempt at smearing and discrediting the messenger
for daring to upset the status quo and think for his/herself. It casually and even callously
disregards the mountain of contradictory evidence, scientific and anecdotal evidence,
accidental
verbal
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 234
miscues, corroborating statements from credible witnesses, and the growing tide of
concerned voices that acknowledge that something to the government’s explanation for
its incompetence is grossly amiss. It stems from either an intellectual laziness or an
inability to rationally discuss elements in contention of the established ‘official’
conspiracy theory of 9/11.
The government readily admits that the attacks were based on a conspiracy between 19
Arab hijackers to fly commandeered aircraft into the World Trade Center. They just want
you to accept their version on blind faith and using the logical fallacy of appealing to
power and authority. It also stems from a life-long diet of carefully controlled and
disseminated information from mainstream media and propaganda professionals. You
have been pre-conditioned to accept that anyone offering an alternative view bypassing
the mainstream media gatekeepers on both the left and the right spectrum are out-ofbounds, to be scoffed at. It is an intellectual surrendering of discernment in favor of a
predigested gruel offered by the talking heads of television and traditional print media.
Like how a mother bird feeds her helpless and dependant chick, most people view it as
easier to sit back, turn on the TV listen, and absorb the thirty second sound-bites and
regurgitated mental dosing of the corporate-oligopoly media’s approved news than to
independently gather, investigate, question, and decide for one’s self the day’s critical
information and news. Your news and information is filtered, censored by corporate
handlers, or self-censored by the reporters themselves, according to the wishes of
corporations and the government for a reason, it is the primary propaganda arm of the
government and elites with their hands on the control levers. They don’t want you to
think for yourself, to discover what they keep hidden from you. Profit and advertising
ratings drives the modern media, not truth, and any news that could impede profit from
their
corporate
handlers
is
automatically
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 235
squelched, or given back-page treatment, where few will notice, and the press can
(dis)honestly claim they covered it.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for
himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he
comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and
intolerable. ~ H.L. Mencken
Again, the truth distills down from the legal principle of cui bono. Conspiracies both
great and small have littered history with political intrigue and assassinations from
Caesar, Lincoln, and Kennedy; countless wars, deceit, financial manipulations of
markets, the Jack the Ripper murders, scandals of price fixing, the Final Solution of the
Jewish Question, and its millions of deaths in the camps of Poland and Germany.
History is a patchwork quilt of interwoven and interconnected conspiracies. If men will
conspire to steal political office, seize the reins of corporations, or their neighbor’s wife,
then why is it so unbelievable to consider that a group of well-financed men would
conspire to control nations, or even the world, as others throughout history have
attempted? It is the basis of the Big Lie Theory that Hitler accurately described. Create a
situation and tell an explanation to the masses for it that is so outrageous that even if the
truth is ever revealed, even when backed up with mountains of evidence to disprove and
counter it, the mass of people will still believe the lie. They cannot, or will not, believe
that someone, even a perceived benevolent and supposedly democratic government,
would ever tell such a monstrous lie, or allow it to go unpunished, if there wasn’t some
basis of truth behind it.
That is the pernicious and seductive trap of propaganda, especially when coming from
the illusion of a free press. If a single large corporate entity owned all the Wendy’s,
Subways, McDonalds, Burger King’s, Hardees, KFC’s, etc., despite all the separate
trademarked names, you wouldn’t call that a free market would you? It is an illusion.
The same analogy applies to the mainstream media. Most of the corporate-owned and
profit driven monopoly mainstream media, have parent companies that are deeply
entrenched
within
the
defense
establishment,
for
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 236
example, NBC is owned by General Electric, which itself is a major supplier to the
military of advanced hardware, and as a consequence, hard investigative reporting that
would lead to embarrassing or exposing the parent companies, say for example a story
on corrupt bidding practices for government contracts, is stopped dead by editorial
decisions. Despite reporters abilities to report, the editors and network managers
decides what gets printed and what gets televised. People will engage in ridiculous and
strenuous mental gymnastics to keep their preconceived versions of reality from
collapsing around them. They have their entire lives invested in maintaining the illusion
that has been provided for them, and they will dig their nails into the floor scratching
and biting to prevent their world-view from collapsing around them. Like an alcoholic
denying he has a drinking problem.
It was very hard for me to come to and accept these conclusions personally, but after
much research, reading diverse mainstream as well as alternative news sources, and by
viewing many independent documentaries, it was the only rational explanation for those
horrible events. There are also the focused campaigns of vilification against those that
attempt to raise any alarm. They are slanderously labeled as “alarmists, fear-mongerers,
right-wing extremists, paranoid-delusional, conspiracy theorists, tin-foil hat wearers,”
and many other derogatory adjectives. These labels unfortunately are often successful in
diverting valid attention away, and to beat down the messenger with a relentless
cacophony of ad hominem slurs, bypassing the actual argument presented.
The theory that the Twin Towers were destroyed through controlled demolition and also
that highest of administration officials actively planned and participated in the attacks
are often too painful to face honestly and to contemplate; most people initially will reject
the argument, even in the face of mountains of evidence, this is the denial stage. When
receiving catastrophic news, it is common to go through what has been simplified down
to a five stage process. The process consists of mechanisms for dealing with traumatic
and
grieving
events
that
follow
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 237
and suppression of contrary facts and analysis are common defensive reactions when
presented with information of the explosive character and substance such as I have
presented here. It’s as difficult as convincing a hard-core alcoholic that they have a
drinking problem, the denial is that strong. a pattern of: denial, anger, bargaining,
depression, and finally acceptance.4 I personally hope this document will encourage you
to reach out on your own for the truth regarding these events, to look outside the box,
and search for the truth. Psychological denial that borders on pathological, cognitive
dissonance,5
Some researchers such as neurologist Antonio Demasio claim that the inability of some
people to see the reality is due to a problem of actual physical pain in the brain when one
is forced to learn new information that dramatically contradicts prior learning. In
learning, certain neural pathways are created, physical channels of neurons – brain cells.
To learn (or unlearn) new information of critical importance would entail disconnecting
or destroying the previously connected pathways and recreating them. The network
must be destroyed to accommodate the new information and this physical
rearrangement, or even destruction, causes physical pain to the individual. To these
certain types of pain-aversive or risk-aversive individuals, it is preferable to remain in
ignorance because it is less painful than reconciling the new information.6 Dr. Eviatar
Zerubavel, in his book The Elephant in the Room: Silence and Denial in Everyday Life,
explores the dynamics and nature of the conspiracies of silence and “unspoken truths”
and social pressures common in society not to discuss painful subjects to maintain “open
secrets,” from intrapersonal family problems, workplace issues, all the way up to largescale traumatic or historical events, such as 9/11.7
Conspiracies of silence are more common than people initially think. How often have we
“turned a blind eye,” “looked the other way,” to the utility of phrases Hear no evil, See no evil,
Speak
no
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 238
evil.
such as “the elephant in the room,” the “emperors new clothes,” “scared ostrich with it’s
head in the sand,” and several others? Conspiracies of silence have even been promoted
as codes between contrasting groups of people. The Sicilian La Cosa Nostra has the
omerta, the prohibitions against speaking to government or police officials; the law
enforcement community has the “blue wall of silence,” and various defense and
intelligence related agencies have official oaths of secrecy, and the military specifically
has the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” regarding homosexual orientation. In the omerta,
violators risk a punishment of violence and death. In the case of the “blue wall,” whistleblowing police officers risk career suicide, loss of trust amongst fellow officers, potential
lack of back-up, etc. Elected officials, even up to the level of the President, maintain
layers of deniability to shield themselves of the criminal wrong-doings of their
subordinates, such as in the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages scandal with President
Reagan’s professed ignorance of being “outside the loop” of the operation, or
conveniently not able to recall due to his age or early stage of Alzheimer’s. When it
comes to bad news, many people, often those who by their official position, should know,
find a way to rationalize the thought “I don’t want to know,” or as it is known in the
Washington beltway, the Sgt. Shultz defense.
The implications of the data and analysis I have discussed here have very serious
consequences that threaten to shake the foundations of the country, and even topple the
government. It quite literally changes black to white, up to down. It fundamentally alters
the presupposed safe relationship of the individual to the government and questions
underlying assumptions of security for ourselves or for our families; it dramatically
alters the social contract. Do not be afraid to be angry. The current status quo cannot,
and should not be allowed to continue as it is. The massive scale of corruption and the
nauseating stench of evil and impropriety coming from Washington, the cover-up of the
real reasons for 9/11 Sgt. Schultz Defense I know nothin'k, I don't want to know anythin'k.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 239
are cause for severe and drastic action. Justice will not be served until those truly
responsible are brought before the scales and weighed. We all know instinctively that it’s
fatally broken; a good metaphor for this dysfunction would be the Titanic, with a gaping
hole along her side. Do we man the lifeboats and save as many as possible? Or do we
dutifully rearrange the deck chairs and polish the brass rails? Or do we go back inside
have a round of stiff drinks and wait for her to break up and plummet to the bottom of
the sea-floor?
Massive Conspiracies Can and Do Exist in an Open Society.
Another reaction commonly heard against conspiracy theories in general is the question
“How can a conspiracy so massive remain kept hidden and secret from the general
population? The child molestation and subsequent coverup by the bishops in the
Catholic Church is an example of how scandal can remain buried for so long with
applications of coercion, hush money, denial, and persecution. The reason that
operations such as this can remain hidden in plain view is because of
compartmentalization. Incest survivors report that not only was the father committing
these “unspeakable” crimes, the mother or the wife often has knowledge of the abuse.
Neighbors sometimes intentionally ignore the loud shouting matches and possibility for
spousal abuse and in “minding our own business,” fail to report violence. The majority of
members or participants of the conspiracy generally do not have knowledge of the entire
operation; they don’t see the full picture. There may technically thousands of people
involved, but they do not have a “need-to-know” beyond the limited scale of their
particular facet of the program. Only a few people in the highest levels have the
knowledge of all the components of the project in full and clear view.
The elite rulers and plutocrats are profoundly arrogant and confident of their
presupposed superiority, and like a successful thief likes to boast and brag about
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 240
his crimes, this “behind the scenes” criminal elite also boasts to those that know where
to look, they also like to blatantly throw it IN YOUR FACE, the equivalent of saying “look
at what we’re doing to you, but your too ignorant to realize that we’re doing it, and that is
why we deserve to dominate and rule you.”8 They know they can pull off the perfect
crimes, they know that they can even afford to leave a trail of clues. Most normal people
will be too preoccupied with the constant toil and demands of their own life, their
mortgage payment, they won’t bother to look
for, let alone read the candid and open acknowledgements in their think-tank policy
papers, the child’s next soccer practice, to care, much less do anything about it. The elite
and their willing minions are taunting us, laughing at us, playing us for fools, and in
many respects, they are right. We have all been played for fools. Legendary showman
and circus owner P.T. Barnum famously once said “there’s a sucker born every minute.”
He was right, but in reality, it’s millions of suckers and gullible saps.
In Michael Hoffman's Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare, he states that "...the
Revelation of the Method has as its chief component, a clown-like, grinning mockery of
the victim(s) as a show of power and macabre arrogance. When this is performed in a
veiled manner accompanied by certain occult sign and symbolical words and elicits no
meaningful response of opposition or resistance from the target(s), it is one of the most
efficacious techniques of psychological warfare and mind-rape...”9 Hoffman continues
describing the technique, which closely follows the effect of Goebbel’s and Hitler’s Big
Lie propaganda theory:
One purpose of this Revelation of the Method is to instill a bipolar orientation and doublemind in the populace, in the expectation that the people will not consciously face the
consequences of the revelation, and hence will continue to follow and obey the ruler even
in the wake of the revelation that the ruler is another [tyrant]. The ruler then harvests and
exploits the resulting, inevitable, profound emotional and intellectual malaise and
psychological disturbance for Laughing at your blindness and gullibility
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 241
his own purposes. The unchallenged, successful induction of this civic insanity is a
hallmark on the path to the reimposition of [tyrant’s] rule.10
As members in a street gang leave graffiti and “tagging” to mark their territory or their
activity, the elites also leave their calling cards for those that pay close attention. Manley
P. Hall wrote in The Secret Teachings of All Ages that, “Symbolism fulfilled the dual
office of concealing the sacred truths from the uninitiated and revealing to those
qualified to understand the symbols.”
Communication between members is actually often in the open, but buried in specialized
journals, industry publications, whitepapers, think tank policy papers, or other
publications in the media the normal citizen would normally have no interest in reading.
Other messages and clues are placed right out in the open, in a symbolic secret language,
but without a key to decipher them, the average person cannot recognize it. When was
the last time that any casual reader perused through an edition of Foreign Affairs, the
quarterly publication of the Council on Foreign Relations? They tell you right there what
they are doing, have done, and what they are going to do. Another valid reason why
conspiracies can thrive in an open society is that most people are too overloaded and
concerned about the basic issues in their lives, their family or their job. They simply
don’t, or can’t, slow down enough to examine all the events that affect them. Or worse,
they don’t care. The devil’s greatest trick was in convincing people he didn’t exist.
Do you remember from your history classes the Manhattan Project? The top-secret
atomic bomb development program during World War II was a project that employed
over 130,000 people and had three top-secret cities created for it. The project remained
top-secret from its founding in 1941, throughout the Trinity atomic bomb test in July
1945, and then was finally, but only partially, revealed to the public after the bombings of
Japan at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. What is less widely known is the role
of the Manhattan Project personnel in the MK-ULTRA and LSD mind control
developments. In 1942, at the University of Chicago, a primitive nuclear pile was started

December 2, 1942. It was kept secret in the middle of a major American city, in the heart
of the campus of a busy college. The surveillance aircraft SR-71 Blackbird, the B-2 Spirit
stealth bomber, and the stealth F-117 Nighthawk and presumably many of the other
Lockheed “Skunk Works” top-secret research and development projects were officially
denied for years. I have also demonstrated previously in this book numerous examples of
other projects like MKULTRA and Operation Gladio/P2OG of covert operations and
medical experimentation that exist far beyond the realm of public knowledge and
discourse.
Other examples of secret operations are Rex-84, COINTELPRO operations, the recently

nature of HAARP, demonstrate conclusively that massively scaled secrets and projects
can be kept among large groups of people. The existence of the famed Area-51 or Groom
Lake was officially denied for many years until the weight of the proof of its existence
required a superficial government explanation. What actually happens there is still the
realm of wide ranging and entertaining speculation (fueled by movies like 16
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 243
1996 Independence Day,) but the location actually exists, and under the highest levels of
national security and secrecy.
The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people

proceedings. ~ President John F. Kennedy

The Power Elite and the Occult Playground of the Bohemian Grove.
This next section is included to demonstrate a possible source of the corrupted mindset
that would enable some of the most powerful men in the world to orchestrate a near
instantaneous mass-murder nearly 3000 innocent people on 9/11. I have to be frank,
until I actually saw the video, I was very skeptical; as I can guess you justifiably might be
as well, for this is truly crossing over into the Twilight Zone for many. The video, should
you choose to watch it, will, in my estimation, convince you. Remember, this is not
whether you believe that the participants are summoning spirits and demons, but rather,
that the participants believe that they are, and they believe that they draw some sort of
dark occultic strength from it. In Ephesians 6:12 we are told that “we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”17
The same levels of heightened secrecy and security can be said to exist for the annual
Bohemian Grove “Cremation of Dull Care” mock human sacrifice and fire worship rituals
performed underneath a large 40’ stone owl statue called the Owl of Bohemia idol, said
to be representative of the biblically referenced Canaanite deity or demon named Moloch
or Molech (to watch the bone chilling free video The Bohemian Grove Cremation of Care

online, click here.) Molech is a pagan god, referenced from the Old Testament, to which
the Canaanite idolaters would sacrifice their first-born children, burning them alive in a
cauldron of fire and reading their tortured deaths for some mystical sign or special
knowledge. The author John Milton, in Paradise Lost, writes of the Cult of Molech:
"First Moloch, horrid king, besmirched with blood of human sacrifice, and parents' tears,
though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud, their children's cries unheard, that
passed through fire to his grim idol."
The Bible makes reference to Molech several times, as a blasphemous worship against
God. In Leviticus 18:21 “And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to
Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD” And again later
in Leviticus 20 “Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the
children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed
unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with
stones. And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his
people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to
profane my holy name.” Jeremiah 32:35 also makes reference to Molech child sacrifices,
calling it an abomination, “And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley
of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire
unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they
should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.” In the Old Testament Book of
Joshua, Joshua was commanded by god to destroy the walled fortress city of Jericho
primarily because it was haven for Canaanite idolatry worship of Baal and Molech.
These bizarre anti-Christian rituals at the Bohemian Grove are of a combination of the
Druidic, Babylonian, Tyre, and Canaanite fertility and death cults and are Deep occultic

conducted annually at the Bohemian Grove on the Summer Solstice of July 15th during a
two week retreat for the initiation (either witting or unwitting) of political, media, and
business elites. The dialogue of the ritual is liberally salted with deep occultic
terminology and references for ritual sacrifice. The background music and mood is taken
from Shakespeare’s play Midsummer Night’s Dream and music from Disney’s animated
classic The Sorcerer’s Apprentice where the pagan forest and aerial spirits/gods are
summoned by the chief priest and celebrated.
In July 2000, the Bohemian Grove Cremation of Care ceremony was exclusively
captured on tape by Alex Jones, an Austin, TX videographer and radio talk show host,
after infiltrating the secured grounds with a hidden surveillance camera. The druidicpagan ritual has been deftly repackaged in a non-threatening, unassuming ceremony,
with spectacular special effects and fireworks display, but it is still deeply occultic. The
effigy of Dull Care, representing conscience, is set ablaze by the chief officiating priest
wearing long Ku Klux Klan styled robes so that he can “read the sign,” and other arcane
occultic language and symbols. At the exact moment the effigy is set afire, a loud
bloodcurdling howl can be heard, and then a siren blares effectively masking the sound
of whatever, or possibly whoever is being ritually sacrificed. The loud sirens could also
be used to signal a parallel occult ceremony being performed simultaneously out of sight,
where instead of only an effigy being killed and burned, an actual person may be ritually
slaughtered in an occult black mass.
The occultic elements are not included by random chance, and certain words and
phrases are given special emphasis in the Cremation of Care ceremony. In the King
James Bible, a search for the term “grove” reveals that God despises and detests
anything associated with worshiping or Molech brazier with child sacrifice
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 246
sacrificing in a grove of trees, because they are associated with Baal worship, for
example, in 2 Chronicles 24: “And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers,
and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their
trespass.” In Judges 3:7 “And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and
forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.” The number of specific
references of God, or of His prophets condemning anything to do with “groves” yields a
total of 44 matches.18 For God to reference “grove” that often as being associated with
Baal worship should give an indication to its importance to Judeo-Christian believers.
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or
else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ~
Gospel of Luke 16:13 KJV

Included among the participants and attendees of the Grove are self-proclaimed socalled Christian Conservatives, including President’s George W. Bush, George H.W.

officials in the Republican Party, U.S. Supreme Court justices, and Federal Reserve
chairmen have frolicked carefree in the sylvan redwood forests of Northern California.20
These elites also move amongst other secretive exclusive groups such as the moving
meetings of the Bilderberg Group in Europe, and the Yale University senior secret
society known as the Order, or informally as Skull & Bones.21 These exclusive and
secretive organizations fill the role of providing a revolving door of business and political
appointments. President's Bush 41 and 43 giving a lakeside chat at the Bohemian Grove.

It is also known that rampant homosexual activity is widely promoted during this men’sonly debauchery-filled retreat at the Bohemian Grove where in the past male prostitutes
and male porn stars have been bought in to entertain the Grove guests.22 Despite the
superficial admonishment “Weaving spiders come not here,”23 a message to the
members to not conduct business while at the Grove, it is also known that the
Manhattan Project was first discussed there, as well as several other significant political
and business decisions have been ironed out at the event, such as the selection of Dick
Cheney as Gov. George Bush’s running mate in the 2000 election. Other political,
military, and business leaders often give privileged lakeside retreat speeches outlining
the upcoming year’s goals and plans that are withheld from the public. To witness these
events, it literally is something out of the twisted reality and perverse, bizarro world of
Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.

Mainstream Media Whoring for the Government.
Responsible journalism has always been considered the Fourth Estate of the
government. It has traditionally been given the fiduciary responsibility of providing a
check on the Executive branch of government and rooting out corruption in politics. It
was supposed to serve as the witness and the conscience of the people in between
elections and is supposed to ask the hard questions, delve deeper into matters, and not
take government pronouncements purely at face value. It is becoming more apparent the
mainstream media (MSM) has abdicated its responsibility as a watch-dog to warn
against government malfeasance. The Bush Administration has spent over $1.6 billion,
that’s billion with a capital “B” for bought-off, on its media campaigns over the last two
years.24 With that kind of money coming from the government, do you think the media is
going to overly critical of the government when that kind of reward is at risk? To stay in
good
graces
and

prints and reports whatever the government wants. Consider how desperate the MSM is
for revenue when its circulations are declining. It routinely lobs deferential softball
questions, if it even asks at all. How anyone can call the corporate monopoly media a
“free press” is simply quite astounding.
There is no such thing, at this stage of the world’s history in America, as an independent
press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dare write your honest
opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am
paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Other
of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be foolish as
to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed
my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my papers, before twenty-four hours my
occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to
fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You
know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the
jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our
lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. ~ John Swinton,
New York 1890.
Perhaps that lack of freedom and the unfettered, unbiased shilling of government
propaganda and disinformation is the real reason for the decline of the MSM and
traditionally vetted journalism. The monolithic dinosaurs of the MSM are also rapidly
losing readership, and with that advertising, cutting back on staffing, exposed for
fraudulent circulation reporting to investors/advertisers, and seeing the biggest threat to
their existence with the growth of alternative media outlets, and specifically from the
growth of the Internet and intrepid bloggers.
The internet is supplanting the MSM off its traditional perch as the primary source of
information, and is increasingly becoming seen as more reliable, as real and dedicated
journalists, who have been marginalized by the profit-driven gatekeeper media in their
decaying ivory-towers, find other avenues and audiences on the internet, unfettered by

In an acknowledgement of the growing power and influence of the Internet, the
prestigious Pulitzer prize in journalism will now be given in a category for online
reporting/blogging. The mainstream broadcast media is becoming so ridiculously
irrelevant to a growing number of people because it cannot even cover an innocuous
holiday parade without covering up an unscripted accident by seamlessly merging stock
footage into the broadcast and portraying it as the current event.25 It is all about creating
an illusion, and maintaining the government’s illusion. Anything that goes off script is to
be avoided and altered before the public sees it. This is really very scary. How do we
know what is real or not? Is it Wag the Dog?
If the corporate media is easily willing to betray the public trust and toss aside its
fiduciary duty to the people and is able to instantly alter the reality of something as
harmless and innocuous as holiday footage of a wayward parade balloon, and splice in
the previous years’ footage, what other, significantly more important news item is
already being, or has been, doctored to preserve some preset agenda or protect
appearances? Is it news or is it propaganda? How can anything the media presents be
trusted if this is how they conduct themselves, if they breach one of the foundational
pillars of professional journalism – trust, on such a trivial issue, only to replace it with a
scam artists’ imagination and the skill of a professional forger? This truly is a bizarro
world gone mad. You cannot trust what the media places in front of you as authentic and
truthful news – it’s fake, it’s staged, it’s filtered, it’s manipulated, it’s a shilled
government propaganda piece. Fraud vitiates everything. Ron Suskind, a reporter for the
New York Times, received a telling admission to a question from a senior advisor to
President Bush about how reality is created and how it is perceived differently now. The
advisor intimated:
That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now,
and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality --
judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study
too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will

Unfortunately for the MSM, famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein exposed another
of the dirty secrets of the media when he dropped his bombshell in the October 1977
issue of Rolling Stone that the fourth estate of the government, the traditional
watchdogs against Executive overreaching and excess for the People, has long been
infiltrated by the CIA and that “America’s leading publishers allowed themselves and
their news services to become handmaidens to the intelligence services.”27 Operation
Mockingbird was a CIA-sponsored program initiated by CIA Director Allen Dulles to
position CIA trained assets within the media to disseminate propaganda and for access.
The MSM is increasingly becoming consolidated and controlled by fewer and fewer
corporate interests, and has become the loyal lapdog, faithfully licking up whatever
crumbs its master tosses it. David Guyatt writing on the infiltration of the media by
intelligence services exposes a massive cooperative relationship between the CIA and the
most prestigious institutions of journalism and the most respected of newspapers:
Sources told Bernstein that the New York Times, America’s most respected newspaper at
the time, was one of the CIA’s closest media collaborators. Seeking to spread the blame,
the New York Times published an article in December 1977, revealing that “more than
eight hundred news and public information organizations and individuals,”
had participated in the CIA’s covert subversion of the media. “One journalist is
worth twenty agents,” a high-level source told Bernstein. Spies were trained as journalists
and then later infiltrated – often with the publisher’s consent - into the most prestigious
media outlets in America, including the New York Times and Time Magazine. Likewise,
numerous reputable journalists underwent training in various aspects of “spook-craft” by
the CIA. This included techniques as varied as secret writing, surveillance and other spy
crafts.28
CIA-trained journalists, and presumably network news reporters/anchors crafting and
packaging the message, in print and televised, is the hallmark of state sponsored
propaganda. Former and deceased CIA Director William Colby Government funded psyops
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 251
once remarked “The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”29 The
dual-payrolls and loyalties of reporters have been blurred, and as a result, their
objectivity and ability to report to the public has been compromised. CIA-sponsored
reporters are awarded Pulitzers one year and then subsequently jailed for playing a role
in the WMD claims in the buildup to the second Iraq war. We used to criticize and joke
about the KGB being involved with the Soviet-era newspapers Pravda and Isvestia, and
now its here on the shores of the U.S. At least in the former-Soviet Union, the oppressed
citizens actually knew they were reading state-sponsored propaganda, in the U.S., the
people are oblivious.
The corporate mergers and takeover of the media to the agenda of the government and
its corporate owners controlling grip is becoming more pronounced. During the 1991
Bilderberg Group’s yearly conference at Baden Baden, Germany, David Rockefeller,
former president of Chase Bank, said in an address said to the elite attendees with
privileged members of the press represented as members amongst them:
We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other
great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their
promises of discretion for almost forty years ... It would have been impossible for us
to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of
publicity during these years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared
to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual
elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced
in past centuries.30
From the tone of multi-billionaire David Rockefeller’s comments, the media is in the
pocket of the elite oligarchy, and has actively helped keep their activities in the dark and
out of the public arena. Since 2000, the MSM has been timid and acquiescing to the
state. It has not challenged the claims of the government, and has been profoundly
derelict in its duties. Political pundits and editorialists are often double-dipping from
their press employers and also secretly drawing a check from government sources to shill
policy
positions
that
the
government
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 252
wants disseminated.31 The government has been repeatedly caught leaving a little extra on the nightstands of these
intellectual “press-titutes.”
Instead of acting like a ferocious pit-bull to get at the truth, the MSM has be more like a
lapdog poodle in recent years. Reporter Michael Petrelis used the Freedom of
Information Act provisions to determine how energetic the MSM has been in doing
investigations. He determined through examining FOIA requests from the media, the
traditional media, that their FOIA requests have been dismally minimal. In fact, the
numbers indicate that non-traditional media and investigators have been more diligent
and active in pursuing the hard issues and requesting documentation, he writes:
The Pentagon’s records reveal that the law is broadly used—more than 10,000 requests
have been made since 2000. But they also illuminate a seeming dearth of curiosity by
news organizations about the internal files of the U.S. military establishment. This lack of
curiosity appears particularly evident among the nation’s three largest newspapers. In
total, the three papers with daily circulations greater than one million--USA Today, the
Wall Street Journal and the New York Times -- made just 36 requests of the Pentagon
between 2000 and February 2005. USA Today made nine; the Journal, six; and the
Times, 21 [inquiries]. Leading print newspapers was the Los Angeles Times, with 42
inquiries. The Times recently ditched its national edition and announced last week it
would lay off 85 newsroom staffers. Following the LA Times was the Washington Post,
with 34—just shy of the total requests made by the three largest U.S. newspapers
combined. The largest television networks made slightly fewer requests than the top print
outlets. CBS News led the pack with 32 queries; Fox News followed with 22; and NBC
News just was shy of that with 21. Fox—a frequent target of the left—filed more requests
than the New York Times. CNN, the most-watched 24 hour news channel, made just 11
inquiries.32
Robert Murdoch, multi-billionaire and media magnate, has come to acknowledge that
the MSM is losing significant ground to the internet and that traditional newspapers are
losing their relevance. He said pessimistically, “Outside New York, it's all monopoly
newspapers…Some have good work in them, but it tends to be over-written, boring and
elitist,
not
a
reflection
of
the
general
mood
of
the
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 253
public…And I think you're going to find their circulations falling more than they have
already have.”33 Investigative reporter John Pilger, twice awarded Great Britain’s highest
award for journalism, the of “Journalist of the Year” writes that an insurrection against
the MSM is underway in America, as millions are turning away from the traditional
models of news and information gathering and are embracing the diversity and openness
of opinion that is available on the Internet. He says:
The insurrection is well under way. In trying to make sense of a dangerous world, millions
of people are turning away from the traditional sources of news and information and to
the World Wide Web, convinced that mainstream journalism is the voice of rampant
power.34
Mainstream journalism is the voice of rampant power, the voice of the state. It no longer
speaks for the People. It has now become labeled as the U.S. equivalent to the Ministry
for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Have you begun to realize what is ultimately
at stake? The U.S. media is lazy and complacent; they are spoon-fed articles/stories from
the government, or exposed as routinely paid to present government information, and
are functionally nothing more than transcribers, stenographers and propaganda
mouthpieces. For a nation that has enshrined in the Bill of Rights as the First
Amendment, the freedom of the press, the U.S. ranks only 44th among nations, as
determined in a study by Reporters Without Borders.35 Amazingly, former communist
nations have a higher ranking in freedom of the press than the U.S. does. The American
press largely is a corporate tool to sell papers, advertising, and products. It is not actively
exposing government corruption, as was its intended, and constitutionally protected,
role. Thomas Jefferson spoke much to the truth when he stated over 200 years ago that,
Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper. I do not take a
single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it. The
man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but
newspapers.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 254
David Guyatt, quoting renowned MIT Professor of Linguistics Noam Chomsky, writes
that the true role of the media, far from its stated and illusory democratic purpose, is in
reality a tool of the elite interests to expand corporate power:
The democratic postulate, Chomsky says, “is that the media are independent and
committed to discovering and reporting the truth…” Despite this axiom, Chomsky finds
that the media supports “established power” and is “responsive to the needs of
government and major power groups.” He additionally argues that the media is a
mechanism for pervasive “thought control” of elite interests and that ordinary citizens
need to “undertake a course of intellectual self-defense to protect themselves from
manipulation and control…” The covert role of the media has now apparently shifted its
focus. One time expediter of the “cold war,” it now clamours for the extension of
“corporate power.”36
Americans Have Been Repeatedly Lied To.
The American public and the world, in front of the United Nations Security Council,
have been repeatedly deceived and outright lied to concerning 9/11, Weapons of Mass
Destruction in Iraq, fabricated Niger uranium yellowcake purchase evidence, the Oil for
Food Scandals, the Downing Street Memo,37 to incompetent or cleverly crafted and
cherry-picked CIA reports. Joe Wilson, a U.S. diplomat writing in the Washington Post
cryptically alludes to the pink elephant in the room:
It really comes down to the administration misrepresenting the facts on an issue that was
a fundamental justification for going to war. It begs the question, what else are they lying
about?38
Indeed, what else are they lying about? The President has boldly and unashamedly lied
to the American people on numerous and on serious occasions. Each new lie is more
brazenly outrageous and delivered bolder than the last. What is publicly known is but a
tip of a giant iceberg. With all the lies that have been foisted on the public, why, why do
we give the government a “free-pass” on the biggest reason for the Iraq and Afghanistan
wars, on 9/11? In fact, in light of the accusations in this paper, all previous instances of
terrorism are now suspect as to their actual sources and instigators. Fraud vitiates
everything.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 255
Americans act like the proverbial battered wife, the government beats and exploits us,
rapes our wallets and our treasuries, abuses our children by sending them off to an
unjust and patently illegal war. The government cheats on We the People with corporate
and foreign interests to the detriment of the People. Yet, We the People are too scared to
leave the relationship. It’s all that we know, we are dependant on it in so many ways, and
the government says that it loves us, that it will take care of us, and protect us. And it
also threatens that it will imprison us and possibly to even kill us if we attempt to leave it
or change it, but leave it we must. We have seen the images of our government in action
in the wake of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and along the gulf coast. What will it
take, what is the last straw that breaks the camels back?
If America can impeach a President for the gross impropriety of lying to an
investigational body or prosecutor regarding a simple matter of a sexual indiscretion,
then why can’t we impeach a President for lying to us, and to the world, to muster our
support for a war based on a pack of lies? Do you really enjoy being scammed? Do you
enjoy being taken for fools or playing the role of a sucker? What else is the government
lying about? How about finally getting to the truth of the John F. Kennedy, Robert

How many astonishing coincidences does it take until the light-bulb goes off in our
collective heads? Things that make you go Hmmmm? Israeli “art-students” with
explosives experience and residue in their van, and other so-called “conspiracy”
theories? Were the recent London subway and transit attacks yet another precursor, a
pretext, to the ratcheting up of methods to increase controls to diminish irretrievably our
personal liberties and our inalienable rights?40
There have been countless phony wars waged by the U.S. government in the name of the
American people, often upon the American people. These phony feel-good “Great Wars”
include: Johnson’s war against poverty, Nixon and Reagan’s phony war against drugs
that only aggravated the problem and filled America’s prisons, ineffectual wars against
illiteracy, Carter’s war on inflation and stagflation, Bush-41 and Clinton’s wars on crime,
orchestrated campaigns against prayer and Christianity in schools and government
influence, wars against environmental pollution, and Bush-43’s War on Terror. Yet we
have not achieved a victory in any of those endeavors, instead they have been miserable
failures. We have only managed to increase government levels of control, regulations,
debt, dependence upon and the growth of government. Even with the basic law of
averages, some of these wars should have been more successful that the actual result. In
only those negative measurements were these phony wars a success, as they ultimately
were intended. “If we were dealing with the law of averages, half the events affecting our
Nation's well-meaning should be good for America. If we were dealing with mere
incompetence, according to the statistical law of averages, our leaders should
occasionally make a decision that would turn out in our favor. We are not dealing with
incompetence or stupidity, but with planning and brilliance." As Franklin Roosevelt said,
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that
way.”
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 257
The Secret or Shadow Government.
I make no apologies for the dramatic tone in these statements and for those yet to follow,
but I believe that a secret, criminal, and deadly group exists within the government, a
shadow government, and it wields considerable political, financial, and military power.41
This shadow government is a layered, compartmentalized, nebulous, multi-faceted,
multi-armed conglomeration of nested corporate, military, intelligence, and government
interests of the elite. It routinely acts above the laws that it subjects, We the People, to.
Some people will often mock and derisively scorn others that believe in the “tin-foil hat”
conspiracy theories, but when matter-of-fact statements and writings from former FBI
agents, U.S. Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, esteemed elected officials, policymakers, elite think-tank papers, highly respected academics, scientists, billionaires, and
journalists confirm the existence of shadowy and possibly very sinister organizations, the
average kept-in-the-dark lay person had better take a concerned notice. The game is
afoot.
These are not the sensationalist or tabloid utterances of foolish alarmists, exaggerators,
or in the language of the smear campaigns of the present media monopoly and
professional discreditors and “spin” controllers, the ranting and ravings of “conspiracy
theorists.” These are comments and revelations from insiders, advisors, puppets, and
operators moving in and out of the circles of real power, with privileged access and
inside information within the shadow government. They deserve a respectful pause,
discernment, and careful scrutiny. Occasionally, as on 9/11, the shadow government
openly reveals itself and can be momentarily glimpsed by the public if they are quick and
attentive; the existence of the shadow government has been documented and buried
within the official
The Shadow Government: Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 258
record. Its exact composition is ambiguous and amorphous. It progresses incrementally,
occasionally retreating, or attempting ambitious flanking maneuvers, but nonetheless,
over time it takes more ground and makes more headway than it gives up. It does exist
as an underground layer of government that pulls and controls the strings of the visible
government.
The existence of a massive conspiracy is not a recent phenomenon. As early as in the
formative years of the American Republic, President George Washington, the Father of
the Country, in 1789 indicated his acknowledgement of an insidious organization that
conspires and seeks to separate the government from the People.42 One hundred and
twenty three years later, President Theodore Roosevelt when running as the Presidential
candidate for the Progressive Party in 1912, gave an acknowledgement of this invisible
shadow government when he stated,
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no
allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible
government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics
is the first task of the statesmanship of the day. The deliberate betrayal of its trust by the
Republican party, the fatal incapacity of the Democratic party to deal with the new issues
of the new time, have compelled the people to forge a new instrument of government
through which to give effect to their will in laws and institutions. Unhampered by
tradition, uncorrupted by power, undismayed by the magnitude of the task, the new party
offers itself as the instrument of the people to sweep away old abuses, to build a new and
nobler commonwealth.
John F. Hylan, the mayor of New York City spoke of a multi-tentacled octopus that has
infiltrated the many layers of local, State and the Federal government. He writes: "The
real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus
sprawls its slimy legs over our cities states and nation. At the Elite Puppetmasters control the
politicians
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 259
head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as 'international bankers.'
This little coterie... run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under
cover of a self-created screen...[and] seizes...our executive officers... legislative bodies...
schools... courts... newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt also made direct reference to this behind-thescenes influence in control of the government, a control that has nothing to do with the
illusion of democracy when he wrote to his closest advisor and Rothschild front agent
and Marxian socialist Edward Mandell House: “The real truth of the matter is, as you
and I know; that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever
since the days of Andrew Jackson.”43 This shadow government has not faded away over
the years since Washington first took notice of it. Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii)
stated during the Iran-Contra Hearings: “[There] exists a shadowy Government with its
own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue
its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from
the law itself.”
Speaking before the U.S. Senate on February 17, 1950 James Paul Warburg, Roosevelt’s
Secretary of the Budget issued this jarring warning: “We will have world government,
whether or not we like it. The only question is, whether world government will be
achieved by conquest or consent.” Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter stated in
1952, "The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the
scenes." U.S. Congressman Larry P. McDonald (D-GA), killed in the Korean 747 KAL007 shoot down by the Soviet Union spoke of a conspiracy to create a one world
government: “The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world
government combining super-capitalism and Communism under the same
tent, all under their control... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there
is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil
in
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 260
intent.” Strobe Talbot, the Deputy Secretary of State for President Clinton was quoted
by Time Magazine “In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states
will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea
after all.”44 [My emphasis]
Another vital clue to what is transpiring on the world stage comes from a statement
made in 1953 by H. Rowan Gaither, President of the Ford Foundation: "[W]e at the
executive level...operated under directives issued by the White House. We are continuing
to be guided by just such directives, the substance of which [was] to the effect that we
should make every effort to so alter life in the United States as to make possible a
comfortable merger with the Soviet Union."
Academic scholars and the intelligentsia have identified the existence of the shadow
government. One of the most respected and renowned of these academics was the
professor of history at the Foreign Service School at Georgetown University, Carroll
Quigley. Prof. Quigley went to lengths and risks to describe his experiences and reveal
his insiders knowledge of the shadow government operating in secret behind the façade
of the public image of government in his book Tragedy and Hope. As indicated earlier,
Quigley was an important figure in the academic life of President William Jefferson
Clinton; important and influential enough to warrant special mention by President
Clinton in one of his speeches.
In his groundbreaking book, Prof. Quigley quotes Senator William Jenner (R-Indiana)
speaking during the start of the Korean War in his book: “This country today is in the
hands of a secret inner coterie which is directed by agents of the Soviet Union. We must
cut this whole cancerous conspiracy out at once. Our only choice is to impeach the
president and find out who is the secret invisible government which has so cleverly led
our
country
down
the
road
to
destruction.”45
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 261
Quigley does not get so specific as to claim clandestine Soviet agents, but he himself
agrees and relates his intimate knowledge through his two years of privileged access and
study of its papers and secret records of those operating behind the curtain and pulling
the strings of the mere puppets visible on the stage:
There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network
which operates to some extent in the way the Radical Right believes the Communists act.
In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion
to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know
of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was
permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I
have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it
and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of
its policies but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain
unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.46
Prof. Quigley also describes in extensive detail and background, the organizations that
are prominent players in the chess games of world politics: International Bankers, The
Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, and the
secret societies of Skull and Bones (The Order) and the Round Table, among other lesser
players.
Quigley made the astute observation that "more changes can be made in five years of war
than in fifty years of peace.”47 Quigley also describes the final goal, an objective which
given today’s technological advances and the present political stage looks all too
achievable. He writes that the ultimate aim is to establish an elaborate system in which
the individual's,
Freedom and choice will be controlled within very narrow alternatives by the fact that he
will be numbered from birth and followed, as a number, through his educational training,
his required military or other public service, his tax contributions, his health and medical
requirements, and his final retirement and death benefits." This would be "nothing less
than a world system of financial control in private hands ... able to dominate the political
system
of
each
country
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 262
and the economy of the world as a whole. This system [will] be controlled in a feudalistic
fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert.48
After Prof. Quigley’s conspiracy expose Tragedy and Hope was published, considerable
effort was expended to round up and purchase all of the initial run of the book, and one
half of the printing plates were lost or destroyed. Is it just a remarkable coincidence, or is
it an effort to affect a coverup after too much was revealed? You decide.
Renowned visionary scientist, inventor, author, and architect Buckminster Fuller was
aware of the smoke and mirrors of the modern state-system when he said, “Great
nations are simply the operating fronts of behind-the-scenes, vastly ambitious
individuals who had become so effectively powerful because of their ability to remain
invisible while operating behind the national scenery.”
Another source from academia is from Professor Emeritus Arthur Miller, a George
Washington University law professor who wrote in his book, The Secret Constitution
and the Need for Constitutional Change that,
...those who formally rule take their signals and commands, not from the electorate as a
body, but from a small group of men (plus a few women). This group will be called the
Establishment. It exists even though that existence is stoutly denied; it is one of the
secrets of the American social order. A second secret is the fact that the existence of the
Establishment - the ruling class - is not supposed to be discussed. A third secret is implicit
in what has been said - that there is really only one political party of any consequence in
the United States, one that has been called the 'Property Party.' The Republicans and the
Democrats are in fact two branches of the same (secret) party.49
In the Council of Foreign Relations quarterly political journal, Foreign Affairs, in the
April 1974, Richard Gardener states that the new world order "will be built... but an end
run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more
than the old fashioned frontal assault.”50 Sneak attacks and subversion against national
sovereignty are the objectives of the elites and their New World Order.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 263
The philosophy of the Rockefeller-created Trilateral Commission is revealed by Zbigniew
Brzezinski, President Carter’s National Security Advisor, in Between Two Ages. Writing
in 1970, Brzezinski states that the Establishment's plans for America's future are
"directly linked to the impact of technology" and "involves the gradual appearance of a
more controlled and directed society. Such a society would be dominated by an
elite...unrestrained by the restraints of traditional ...values [American peasants there
goes your Constitution and Bill of Rights!]
The exploitive elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest
modern techniques for influencing public and keeping society under close surveillance
and control. In the January, 1968, edition of Encounter, Brzezinski in moment of
foreshadowing that can hardly be attributed to coincidence alone, elaborated on the
modern electronic prison camp he envisions for the U.S. It will be "possible to assert
almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and to maintain up-to-date, complete
files, containing even the most personal information about the health or personal
behavior of the citizen in addition to more customary data. These files will be subject to
instantaneous retrieval by the authority."
Did you get that? Authority, singular! Compare those words spoke in 1968 with today’s
state of affairs, cameras on every corner, transponder tracking, GPS tracking, biometrics,
Orwellian Big Brother telescreens, progression towards a cashless society with electronic
transactions, NSA wiretapping and surveillance. Is by mere coincidence, zeitgeist,
accidents of history, or this actual planning coming into view?
Brzezinski, as a founding Trilateralist, is a central political figure, national security
advisor, and political architect who, like several others of similar stature, smoothly
transitions from Democrat (Carter) to Republican (Bush) spheres of influence to
effectively demonstrate that both parties, while maintaining the illusion of difference
with
sufficient
domestic
squabbles,
are
controlled
by
the
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 264
same forces and are fundamentally moving America towards the same global agenda of
the New World Order. Compare previous administrations staffing selections and you will
discover that major positions are filled by members of these elite think-tanks. Paleolithic
conservative Barry Goldwater, in his book With No Apologies writes about the Trilateral
Commission,
The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of
the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the
United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize
control and consolidate the four centers of power political, monetary, intellectual and
ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic
power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. As managers
and creators of the system, they will rule the future.
Former FBI Agent Dan Smoot wrote in The Invisible Government that: “I am convinced
that the objective of this invisible government is to convert America into a socialist state
and then make it a unit in a one-world socialist system.”51 Former German Defense
Minister and seconded to NATO in the 1970s, Dr. Johannes Koeppl, a presenter at the
reclusive Bilderberg meetings, and also a former Trilateral Commission member speaks
of the goals of the elites and the shadow government:
In 1983/4 I warned of a take-over of world governments being orchestrated by these
people. There was an obvious plan to subvert true democracies and selected leaders were
not being chosen based upon character but upon their loyalty to an economic system run
by the elites and dedicated to preserving their power…All we have now are pseudodemocracies.’…As to the present conflict Koeppl expressed the gravest concerns, “This is
more than a war against terrorism. This is a war against the citizens of all countries. The
current elites are creating so much fear that people don’t know how to respond. But they
must remember. This is a move to implement a world dictatorship within the next
five years. There may not be another chance.52 [My emphasis]
In 1987, respected and award winning journalist Bill Moyers produced a documentary
for
PBS
called
“The
Secret
Government
–

in
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 265
Crisis.” In this ground-breaking documentary, he outlined the formation of this hidden
shadow government. His introductory comments precisely sum up the characteristics of
it, as well as their real danger to the Republic and the Constitution. He said,
The Secret Government is an interlocking network of official functionaries, spies,
mercenaries, ex-generals, profiteers and superpatriots, who, for a variety of motives,
operate outside the legitimate institutions of government. Presidents have turned to them
when they can’t win the support of the Congress or the people, creating that unsupervised
power so feared by the framers of our Constitution. Just imagine that William Casey’s
dream came true. Suppose the enterprise grew into a super-secret, self-financing, selfperpetuating organization. Suppose they decided on their own to assassinate Gorbachev
or the leader of white South Africa. Could a President control them and what if he became
the enterprise’s public enemy Number One? Who would know? Who would say no?53
In Sept. 1994, David Rockefeller, former President of Citibank, (this multi-billionaire
amazingly turns up quite a bit) discussed the New World Order when he stated, “This
present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world
order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global
transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New
World Order."
Edward Bernays, considered by many to be the “father of public relations,” and who
termed his methodology of combining psychology and social sciences into advertising
and public relations campaigns as the “engineering of consent,” in his 1928 book
Propaganda, writes "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who
manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which
is the true ruling power of our country."
Politics indeed makes strange bedfellows. In 1917, the Communist Revolutionary leader
Vladimir Lenin proclaimed: First, we will take Eastern Europe, then the
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 266
masses of Asia; then we will encircle the United States which will be the last bastion of
capitalism. We will not have to attack. It will fall like an overripe fruit into our hands."
Even with the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Communism is still alive and well,
and is in control of the most populated nation on the planet, China. Socialism has
rapidly regained ground in Latin America while the U.S. is preoccupied in the Middle
East. Can we take Lenin’s words at face value these many years later? Consider the
words former Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev said in party conference before the
collapse of the Soviet Union,
In October 1917, we parted with the old world, rejecting it once and for all. We are moving
toward a new world, the world of Communism. We shall never turn off that road! Comrades, do not be concerned about all that you hear about glasnost and perestroika and
democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will
be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union other than for cosmetic
purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.
Will anyone continually distracted by their pursuit of thirty pieces of silver or their daily
entertainment rituals, the “bread and circuses,” even bother to notice the noose being
silently slipped over our hoods? These elites and people of power and influence are all
speaking as if off the same script. For a comprehensive collection of their own words,
plainly speaking of their plans, click here.
There also exists another alliance - at first glance a strange one, a surprising one - but if
you think about it, in fact, one which is well grounded and easy to understand. This is the
alliance between our Communist leaders and your capitalists." ~ Vladimir. I. Lenin 1917

Football with his six-pack? Our founding fathers would certainly be justifiably amazed at
the technological progress we have made since they founded the republic, but they
certainly would be horrified at the level of control bestowed upon the very type of
centralized government that they feared and rebelled against, and they would be
profoundly disappointed in the lack of resolute action by their progeny to prevent it from
being foisted upon them. Indeed, with the ability to pull off a staged event on the scale of
9/11, there doesn’t seem to be a limit to their monstrous villainy, and they have in their
possession the deadliest weapons of the American arsenal, and willing treasonous
servants to use them. They have a plan for tyranny and a definite sense of urgency exists
and events seem to reaching be speedily and desperately to reach a crescendo for a
culminating event.
The Government and the Military Industrial (Oil) and Intelligence Complex has already
conspired and executed in dramatic fashion, murderous and treasonous plans that
resulted in the deaths I described above. What else do they have planned, in what scale,
and what time-frame, to maintain their stranglehold on the political process and
American society? It is very likely that various incarnations of this group have existed
and operated since President Eisenhower openly warned the public in his farewell
address to the nation of this pervasive and persistent threat to America from these
combined corporate threats:
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new
in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is
felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize
the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave
implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of
our society. In the councils President Eisenhower's prescient speech warning about the
dangers
of
the
growing
Military
Industrial
Complex.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 268
of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether
sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous
rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this
combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for
granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the
huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals,
so that security and liberty may prosper together.
The current administration (and unfortunately many of those before it – both
Democratic and Republican, from the coup in 1963 with the installation of Lyndon B.
Johnson on forward to George W. Bush), has formulated plans to attempt to secure the
remaining Middle East oil resources – likely with your son’s and daughter’s blood. Will
you sit there and let them unopposed? Will you delay in dissenting and resisting until
the boot holds you down by the neck? How long do you suppose China and Russia will
idly standby and allow the U.S. imperial ambitions to run unopposed in the region and
deprive their economies and militaries of critical oil resources without running into a
military conflict?54
The important lessons from pre-WW2 history concerning America’s financial clampdown and cutoff and embargoes of Japan from its sources of oil in 1940-41 are testament
to that strong possibility that global war could erupt as those powers respond before
their supplies run too low to conduct military operations. Already the regional powers in
Central Asia are their rattling sabers and training for what seems to be an inevitable
conflict with the U.S. On such strategic issues as the control of oil resources and vital sea
lanes. With the involvement of the Great Powers, is it unreasonable to assume that this
conflict will be limited to non-nuclear warfighting? The U.S. is already formulating
additional plans for the employment of pre-emptive nuclear attack on nations such as
Iran and Syria,55 or upon terrorist groups, and Russia is also testing new highly
maneuverable SS-27 Topol-M ICBM’s said to be able to avoid U.S. anti-missile
defenses.56

Rumors of reinstituting the draft are circulating again and several attempts at
introducing legislation have already occurred in 2003 and again in 2005.57 58 The
military is even trying to push through a policy change to allow the mandatory
recruitment (draft) age to be raised to 42 years old.But this is all just another amazing
coincidence; there’s nothing to worry about, just go back to sleep.
In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and
scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a
patriot. ~ Mark Twain, 1904
The American ‘Sheeple’ are not Vigilant.
Through the masterful use of government propaganda and the nearly willful complicity
of the whore of corporate mainstream media, the American people are being led
blissfully unaware down the primrose path by a pied piper who a plays a song of fear and
terror. As a wild stallion is “sacked out”before someone can safely ride it,59 the American
people are being trained and desensitized to the police state slowly being unveiled so
they we will accept it without creating a stir. They have been lulled into a false sense of
security, a dream-like sleep, by the siren song of a corrupt government determined to
fleece them. It is a giant con-game, a legalized mob protection-racket. We have overrelied upon the hired ‘protectors” to defend us against the enemies of the world, the
boogey men who haunt our nightmares, but it begs the question, who protects us from
the protectors? For the most part, the unaware masses selfishly are concerned only for
themselves, “as long as they get theirs.”
What shall we say when history asks how such crimes came to be committed in the name
of America? Will we say that we stood silently by, shrugging our shoulders, filling our
bellies, closing our eyes? Or will we be able to say: We saw. We dissented. We resisted. We
condemned. ~ Chris Floyd A nation of blindly trusting sheep is lulled to mental sleep.

Are you going to let them conduct another attack and then declare martial law, suspend
the Constitution, and institute a draft? Will you observe in meek compliance, complacent
silence, and with moral indifference as your neighbors are hauled away secretly in the
middle of the night? Who will stand up for you when the knock finally arrives at your
door? The majority of people are in condition of willfully pretending everything is
normal, that no situation exists. Despite the constant drum-beating and chest thumping,
the American people are very fearful. They are too fearful to ask questions for appearing
to be unpatriotic, too fearful to acknowledge the evidence that is right before their eyes,
before their fingertips, and whispered by many and shouted by some. It takes less
courage to fire long-range weapons than to face the real situation. It takes profoundly
more courage to stand up against the treachery and lies of the state, than to march off to
war for the state…which makes the protester MORE of a patriot than the soldier blindly
following orders.
Until that day arrives, just keep on being content with reading and memorizing the
minutia of utterly unimportant statistics from the daily sports section, catatonically
watching the mind-dulling electronic sludge and poison of “reality TV,” desensitized to
the 24-hour sensory overload, emotional sadism, and pseudo-“snuff” peddled on 500
satellite and cable channels of violence and Videodrome-styled “entertainment,” the
World Series or the Super Bowl, somnambulistic, mesmerized, hypnotized, tranquilized,
marginalized, pacified, oblivious, distracted, asleep, and tuned out from the events that
really affect you and your family. The addictive and non-stop bombardment of the drugs
of escapism are provided by the willing brigades of the professional propagandist upon
too many uninformed and apathetic Americans tranquilized by the sludge of mainstream
media, the debased fantasy world projected onto silver screens will not prevent the
potential economic collapses over the horizon. You can sit there

dumbfounded and ignorant just like how President Bush sat at the Emma T. Booker
Elementary School with that stupefied and guilty expression reading My Pet Goat for 30
minutes while this nation was under attack from within on 9/11, and the elite
Presidential Secret Service team stood down. Or you can make the decision to suit up,
get on the field, make some plays, and get involved.
"Sooner or later, a society of sheep must create a government of wolves." ~ Bertrand de

Pay Heed to this Warning - Wake Up.
The danger is growing just over the horizon. You might not be able to see it, but you can
intuitively sense it. You can hear the horn of the onrushing train, and you can feel the
vibrations trembling and building in the ground. You may not realize it, but a high-tech
police state is being erected silently and without your consent all around you. The elite
powers in control are pulling an end-run around the democratic process and quietly
subverting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and most of America is sleeping right
through it.
It has already been documented that most elected representatives do not even read the
full text of legislation before they pass them into laws.60 Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) said that
the Patriot Act was not made available to legislators before they were vote on it in the
middle of the night: "It's my understanding the bill wasn't printed before the vote — at
least I couldn't get it.” They played all kinds of games, kept the House in session all
night, and it was a very complicated bill. Maybe a handful of staffers actually read it, but
the bill definitely was not available to members before the vote.”61 It was barely even

Let’s scale the issue down and look at the methodology. If you were in the market for a
house to buy, you were ready to close, and all of sudden you were called in to the agent’s
after hours, without your attorney present, and given a high-pressure sales job to accept
a higher interest rate or a higher down-payment, told that another buyer was sitting in
the lobby ready to buy if you didn’t, or to buy the house without an inspection or a title
and lien clearance…would you buy it? Of course not, but that is the type of shenanigans,
bait-and-switch, deception, and unmitigated corruption that are common currency in
Washington. If you won’t read the legislation, and if the elected representatives don’t
read them, who knows what dangerous and despicable planks are secreted away in them
by special interests and highly paid lobbyists?
The government is routinely force feeding the sheep with internal propaganda veiled as
mainstream news coverage of their policies, in direct contravention of long held bans on
such media manipulation.62 Do sheep realize their danger when the shearing is done and they are loaded onto a
hauling truck heading to their slaughterhouse destinations? Do the sheep realize it even when they are unloaded from the truck and
led by a Judas goat to the killing floors? Do lemmings know where they are blindly headed just before going over the cliff? Are you
polishing the brass or rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic? Far worse and more pathetic are those non-thinking Neanderthals
who are utterly indifferent to the situation, as long as they have theirs, they are content to let others be dragged away. They won’t

The gullible, willfully uninformed, and unwashed masses of the silent majority of the
nation, the booboisie, are too busy watching WWE wrestling, NASCAR, downloading
porn, and drinking their Budweiser’s to notice that the wool is being pulled over their
heads. They rabidly cheer their political party affiliation and frothingly parrot the partly
line or whatever political slogan mantra is in vogue like they rally and cheer on their
favorite NFL football team. The frog in the pot sees the bubbles forming on the bottom of
the pot but it’s not concerned as they only just “tickle” right now. And the dial is turned a
little higher, and soon it finds itself parboiled, such is creeping fascism. As Edmund
Burke stated, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do
nothing.” There are today too many good men doing nothing.
It’s a daily “fix,” the episode of Short Attention Span Theater and the daily dose of 30second sound-bites of coordinated and synchronized network of government
propaganda. The real slaughterers of innocence on 9/11 can be beaten, but only if the
entire massive herd of “sheeple” would just stop playing dumb and awaken from this
deception, joined the brewing groundswell and if they then stampeded, they could
trample under foot these wicked controllers, but only if they do choose, and only if they
realize the danger before its too late.

Order that seeks to supplant the current nation-state system, and by deduction, the
dissolution of the United States into a world government. And the press is not covering
it. Why? Perhaps it is that $1.6 billion payoff they receive for favorable coverage, or
hush-money.
This government has already committed mass murder, numerous times over, and it
falsely claims that the “terrorists” are already planning more attacks and on a larger
scale to keep us in fear and compliant for their plans to maintain or widen the War on
Terror. That possibly means plans are drawn for nuclear, biological, or chemical attacks
– likely self inflicted attacks. CIA Director Porter Goss, the 9/11 breakfast partner of the
Pakistani ISI Mohammed Atta money man, speaking before a Senate Intelligence
Hearing: “It may be only a matter of time before Al-Qaeda or another group attempts to
use chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons.”63 The same criminals who
executed 9/11 already have nuclear weapons in their arsenal and at their command. In
order to advance or preserve their stranglehold on the positions of power, they may yet
resort to another self-inflicted 9/11 attack on an even larger scale. You maniacs. You blew it
up. Damn you. God damn you all to Hell! ~ Charlton Heston, Planet of the Apes

Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon which refers to the discomfort felt at a discrepancy
between what you already know or believe, and new information or interpretation. It therefore occurs
when there is a need to accommodate new ideas, and it may be necessary for it to develop so that we
become "open" to them. Neighbour (1992) makes the generation of appropriate dissonance into a major
feature of tutorial (and other) teaching: he shows how to drive this kind of intellectual wedge between
learners' current beliefs and "reality." Beyond this benign if uncomfortable aspect, however, dissonance
can go "over the top", leading to two interesting side-effects for learning: if someone is called upon to learn
something which contradicts what they already think they know — particularly if they are committed to
that prior knowledge — they are likely to resist the new learning. Even Carl Rogers recognized this.
Accommodation is more difficult than Assimilation, in Piaget's terms and counter-intuitively perhaps, if
learning something has been difficult, uncomfortable, or even humiliating enough, people are less likely to
concede that the content of what has been learned is useless, pointless or valueless. To do so would be to
admit that one has been "had," or "conned."

In Vietnam in the 1960s, under its hellish, Top Secret Phoenix program, the American CIA and U.S.
Army helpers abducted, murdered, and unmercifully tortured tens of thousands of victims. Estimates
range between 20,857 and 40,994 Vietnamese men, women and children were killed. Many were thrown
into inhuman cages, starved into submission and finally bludgeoned or shot to death. Some were drowned,
others thrown out of helicopters. Young women and children were not spared. CIA op Kenneth Osborn
said Phoenix became a depersonalized murder program. In Hostages of War, Don Luce examined the
perverse Phoenix Program, recounting its massive and unjustifiable use of torture, repression, and
assassination. Most victims, he notes, were innocent, brought in only after a neighbor or family enemy
falsely reported them to authorities as a potential threat to security. Many were accused of saying
something they shouldn't have said, or of "insufficient support" for the political system. Operation Phoenix
detainees were tortured with electric shocks applied to their genitals, while women prisoners were
typically raped, occasionally with foreign objects. A particularly infamous interrogation technique involved
flinging a blindfolded prisoner from a helicopter while threatening to do the same to the remaining
passengers. Some had had bamboo splinters shoved under their fingernails. One was deaf from having
soapy water poured in his ears, and his ears pounded. The women students had been raped as well as
tortured." "I never knew in the course of all those operations any detainee to live through his
interrogation," Bart Osborn, a former CIA agent, told Congress in 1971. “They all died.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 276
There was never any reasonable establishment of the fact that any one of those individuals was, in fact,
cooperating with the VC, but they all died and the majority were either tortured to death.”

Between 1952 and 1973, a series of US presidents, of both parties, authorized a secret CIA mail-opening
program that systematically violated civil liberties. US mail addressed to China or the Soviet Union was
opened at CIA facilities in New York and San Francisco without any warrants. Known as HTLingual this
program came to an end when Director of Central Intelligence William Colby undertook a housecleaning
of the CIA's illegal programs. The public learned about the program the next year thanks to a front-page
New York Times piece by Seymour Hersh.

Project Jennifer was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) project to
recover a sunken Soviet K-129 submarine from the Pacific Ocean floor in the summer of 1974, using the
purpose-built ship by billionaire Howard Hughes, the Hughes Glomar Explorer. The cover story
concocted for the Hughes Glomar Explorer is that it was being constructed for the Summa Corp. to mine
underwater manganese modules on the sea bed. The 1968 sinking of the Soviet K-129 occurred under
unusual circumstances—far out of its patrol area, near Hawaii, possibly in firing position, and with
subsequent localized nuclear contamination of the sea. Project Jennifer was one of the most complex and

Bohemian Grove Fact Sheet. Sonoma County Free Press
<http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/bohos/bohofact.html> From the fact sheet: “The grove is the
site of a two week retreat every July (as well as other smaller get-togethers throughout the year). At these
retreats, the members commune with nature in a truly original way. They drink heavily from morning
through the night, bask in their freedom to urinate on the redwoods, and perform pagan rituals (including
the "Cremation of Care", in which the members wearing red-hooded robes, cremate a coffin effigy of "Dull
Care" at the base of a 40 foot owl altar). Some (20%) engage in homosexual activity (but few of them
support gay rights or AIDS research). They watch (and participate in) plays and comedy shows in which
women are portrayed by male actors. Although women are not allowed in the Grove, members often leave
at night to enjoy the company of the many prostitutes who come from around the world for this event. Is
any of this hard to believe? Employees of the Grove have said that no verbal description can accurately
portray the bizarre behavior of the Grove's inhabitants.”

Bernstein, Carl. “The CIA & The Media.” Rolling Stone. 20 Oct. 1977. Bernstein writes: “Alsop is one of
more than 400 American journalists who in the past 25 years have secretly carried out assignments for the
Central Intelligence Agency according to documents on file at CIA headquarters. Some of these journalists'
relationships with the Agency were tacit; some were explicit. There was cooperation, accommodation and
overlap. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine services -- from simple intelligence-gathering to
serving as go-betweens with spies in Communist countries. Reporters shared their notebooks with the
CIA. Editors shared their staffs. Some of the journalists were Pulitzer Prize winners, distinguished
reporters who considered themselves ambassadors without portfolio for their country. Most were less
exalted: foreign correspondents who found that their association with the Agency helped their work;
stringers and freelancers who were as interested in the derring-do of the spy business as in filing articles;
and, the smallest category, full-time CIA employees masquerading as journalists abroad. In many
instances, CIA documents show, journalists were engaged to perform tasks for the CIA with the consent of
the managements of America's leading news organizations. Among the executives who lent their
cooperation to the Agency were William Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), Henry Luce of
Time Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the Louisville CourierJournal, and James Copley of the Copley News Services. Other organizations which cooperated with the
CIA include the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), the

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 281
Arouse the Conscience of the Nation
At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed. O! Had I the
ability, and could reach the nation's ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting
ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is
needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the
whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the
conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the
hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be
proclaimed and denounced.
~ Frederick Douglass, Abolitionist
A time comes when silence is betrayal. Some of us who have already begun to break the
silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but
we must speak. We must speak out with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited
vision, but we must speak.
~ Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position
That is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;
But one must take it because it is right.

Chapter 10: America Is Marching Towards Military Fascism.
Basically, as long as you smile when you demand to see somebody's ID at gunpoint sitting
on a bus I guess it's OK for the government, that's sort of the way they operate. It can be a
totalitarian type regime. I think it's a real danger where we have the military becoming
involved in all sorts of domestic matters and we have the government being able to seize
very private personal records on people without any suspicion that they've done anything
wrong. This is a dramatic turn of events that has accelerated greatly since 9/11. ~ Rep. Bob
Barr (R-GA)
The claim that America is progressing towards fascism and away from its democratic
ideals is a very strong statement, and just five years ago it could have been easily
dismissed as exceedingly alarmist, but compare that to the situation today and it is
becoming more apparent and blatant that current events are unfolding in precisely that
manner. In this section, I assemble the ingredients that at first glance appear as though
it would be useful in the War on Terror, however, these have been already begun to be
corrupted and are being pre-positioned like pieces in a chess game, to be used at a preset
time, and after other agreed upon conditions have been met.

that I list, each when viewed singularly appears initially as an innocuous and benign
mechanism of societal or technological advancement, but when they are assembled
together, they weave a picture that reveals a complex and interdependent human control
grid of malevolent design and application. The growing control grid includes an everwidening control grid of encroaching anti-privacy laws, advances in technology with a
potential dual use for technological terrors, paramilitary police training and behavior,
and other human control measures that are ever slowly unveiled and growing daily.

trapped him and immobilized him with hundreds of ropes, which, due to their small size,
he was unable to sense as they were thrown across him as he slept. Couple the shortattention span of the majority of the American population with the fear generated in the
post 9/11 environment and you create a political climate that enabled the

may be fairly accused of using a “shotgun” approach in listing all these items or by
making connections that are not readily apparent, but anyone who has fired a shotgun
also knows that it is quite effectively lethal and a few pellets of OO-buckshot is all you
need to get someone’s attention. Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe, in an
interview with the New York Times' Bob Herbert, tells how Orwell’s 1984 is indeed
speaking to us: "The more people grow accustomed to a listening environment in which
Big Brother is assumed to be behind every wall, behind every e-mail, and invisibly
present in every electronic communication, telephonic or otherwise—that is the kind of
society, as people grow accustomed to it, in which you can end up being boiled to death
without ever noticing that the water is getting hotter, degree by degree."
The Rapid Growth of Police Militarism.
Long gone are the days when local police were characterized by the likes of the peaceful
Andy Griffith from Mayberry, Detective Columbo, Jack Webb, and Barney Miller. In a
sharp night and day contrast, according to the 1999 Cato Institute policy paper, our local
police our being militarized with federal funding and training incentives; they are garbed
in the classic black uniforms, tools, and weapons of intimidation such as the uniforms of
medieval executioners, black hoods and masks, as well as the uniforms terrorists used in
the 1972 Munich Olympics, and in SWAT uniforms visually comparable to
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 285
Imperial stormtroopers and Darth Vader. Miami’s Chief of Police, Frank Fernandez,
unveiled a new hyper-aggressive campaign to present a strong show of force including
conducting mass ID checks, random building lock-downs and searches, described his
operation in war terminology, saying “This is an in-your-face type of strategy. It's letting
the terrorists know we are out there. We want that shock. We want that awe.”3 They
want to show the public, more than potential terrorists, that they are in charge. It’s all
about civilian intimidation and compliance training. Local police and sheriff
departments are in the anti-terrorist and citizen surveillance business now?
In a conscious effort to appear menacing and intimidating, as an occupation force would
appear, a growing number of state and local police forces have adopted military models
for behavior and outlook. Where military forces train extensively to fight a foreign
“enemy,” local police forces train to patrol and sometimes fight amongst constitutionally
protected people, and its becoming glaringly clear that the two modes of thinking are
incompatible in the civilian application of law enforcement.
The civilian police have been armed to the teeth at levels nearly on par with military
forces with state-of-the-art high tech ballistic, “non-lethal,” microwave, and sonic
weapons, nightvision gear, and even surplus military issue equipment, weapons, and
armored vehicles all with the blessings and Surplus armored military vehicles for civilian police

financial and training support of the Federal government. They conduct joint training
drills with formal military forces under the auspices of “preparedness” and “antiterrorism” exercises.4 They are being deliberately conditioned to view us as “civilians”
while they are the “officials,” creating an artificial superiority and a dangerous division.
Elite U.S. military units are actively training to disarm local civilian law enforcement
officers.5 The TSA corps of VIPER air marshals were assigned expanded duties to patrol
buses, train terminals, air terminals, ferries, and mass transportation facilities.6 This is
nationalized federal police; de facto total police state. This is not about combating
terrorism, it’s about getting the public to cower and submit to the control of the
government. The guard dogs are barking at the sheep to keep them in line.
The police/military conduct numerous compliance operations, merely to condition the
public to follow their commands without question. It is not uncommon for police making
an early-morning dynamic drug raid to make a mistake in serving a warrant, such as a
wrong address, and no-knocking down the doors and holding the terrorized residents in
abject fear for their lives with weapons held to their heads,7 or to stage pre-dawn raids in
full military combat gear supported with helicopters at a permitted rave with students.8
An obedient and subservient population is being trained to follow directions with no
questions asked, like the “good German Syndrome” in the 1930’s to 1940’s.9

Gone now are the days of political protest and crowd suppression with police dogs and
water-cannons, now we have fully militarized police with equipment such: .50 caliber
armored piercing equipped snipers on helicopters (on a moving platform and armored
piercing rounds for snipers?)15 Humvee-mounted microwave beams16 and highfrequency sound-wave LRAD (Long Range Acoustical Device) disruptor cannons for

All you need to complete the image is a line of combat armored police marching in
jackboots.
Police response to minor calls or crime has also taken on an overkill approach, with fully
armed SWAT units being dispatched to handle people threatening suicide.18 This overly
aggressive response is likely more for the intimidation and training of neighbors than for
the actual criminals or distraught persons. The slow death of the principal of Posse

The Patriot Act, and Bush administration guidelines for its use, transformed those letters
by permitting clandestine scrutiny of U.S. residents and visitors who are not alleged to be
terrorists or spies. The FBI now issues more than 30,000 national security letters a year,
according to government sources, a hundredfold increase over historic norms. The letters
-- one of which can be used to sweep up the records of many people -- are extending the
bureau's reach as never before into the telephone calls, correspondence and financial lives
of ordinary Americans. Senior FBI officials acknowledged in interviews that the
proliferation of national security letters results primarily from the bureau's new
authority to collect intimate facts about people who are not suspected of any
wrongdoing.24
Tyranny from Dual-use Technologies.
Would you let someone whose grandfather was a money launderer and financier for the
Nazi’s and who profited off the tragedy of the Holocaust watch your children? Would you
give a psychopath a loaded weapon, let alone an arsenal of weapons capable of
annihilating the globe? Would you let a corrupt government system considered to be
psychopathic in nature and often in conduct to freely implant you with an electronic ID
chip? This is something that should be causing your “Spidey sense” tingle. Animals and
livestock are tracked and marked, where do they end up? Will you let yourself be tracked
like and farm animal by the state?
The technologies are creating an interconnected control grid with the massive
computing power to track hundreds of millions of people and transactions. All over
American cities millions of CCTV security cameras are being erected everywhere
presumably to fight/prevent crime or to monitor areas.25 The supersensitive electronic

The history of genocide in human affairs by tyrannical governments has been marked
with two major conditions, mass identification and the disarmament of privately-owned

apparatuses in storage in a warehouse and not use them when their own plans and
training exercises suggest otherwise? What’s next in this horror movie called reality,

In pre-employment or psychological exams, such as the widely used Minnesota
Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), the applicant or patient routinely fills out a
personality assessment test and answers a battery of several hundred questions that are
used to generate a statistical average of the applicant’s likely personality traits and
anticipated behavior. Through the application of high-speed computerized data mining
across interconnected databases, behavioral profiles that are even more precise and
constantly updated can also be generated from the centralization of databases of all
personal data from all forms of electronic transactions, website visits and emails sent or
received, phone communications logs, credit histories, property records, firearms
purchasing records, census data, criminal records, utility usage records, IRS and
banking history, store or online purchasing habits, television viewing, travel patterns,
work history, medical history, etc. They know more about you than you do and based on
all those factors can even predict what you will do. Imagine a stalker or a psychopath

Legalized Tyranny.
The legalities of tyranny have also been surreptitiously slipped under the warning radar
of America. Scared by the events of 9/11 and the Anthrax scare, the Patriot Act was
passed ostensibly to increase security. Throughout America, companies like Diebold
have been quietly, but aggressively, selling touch-screen computer voting machines.
These machines are capable of being rigged electronic voting machines that can be
hacked52 and manipulated to circumvent the will of the people and leaving no paper
trail. As Soviet dictator and mass murderer Joseph Stalin explained “It’s not who votes
that counts, it’s who counts the votes.”53

are being recruited primarily from among those whose work provides access to homes,
businesses or transport systems. Letter carriers, utility employees, truck drivers and train

Administration and the similarly based claims used by Adolf Hitler to sidestep the rule of
law in Germany,
Compared to Spygate, Watergate was a kindergarten picnic. The Bush administration’s
lies, felonies, and illegalities have revealed it to be a criminal administration with a police
state mentality and police state methods. Now Bush and his attorney general have gone
the final step and declared Bush to be above the law. Bush aggressively mimics Hitler’s
claim that defense of the realm entitles him to ignore the rule of law…When Hitler
challenged the German judicial system, it collapsed and accepted that Hitler was the law.
Hitler’s claims were based on nothing but his claims, just as the claim for extra-legal
power for Bush is based on nothing but memos written by his political
appointees…September 11, 2001, played into neoconservative hands exactly as the 1933
Reichstag fire played into Hitler’s hands. Fear, hysteria, and national emergency are
proven tools of political power grabs. Now that the federal courts are beginning to show
some resistance to Bush’s claims of power, will another terrorist attack allow the Bush
administration to complete its coup?84
The U.S. government arrested and held in prison an American citizen, Jose Padilla, for

“We are deputizing the military to spy on law-abiding Americans in America. This is a
huge leap without even a [congressional] hearing,” and also Kate Martin, director of the
Center for National Security Studies, states that this "removes one of the few existing
privacy protections against the creation of secret dossiers on Americans by government

Laura Murphy, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington office. You
can be doing a perfectly legal activity like worshiping or talking in a chat room, they can

informants than the former East Germany through the infamous Stasi secret police. The
program would use a minimum of 4 per cent of Americans to report "suspicious activity."
Highlighting the scope of the surveillance network, TIPS volunteers are being recruited
primarily from among those whose work provides access to homes, businesses or

Letter carriers, utility employees, truck drivers and train conductors are among those
named as targeted recruits. Assuming the program is initiated in the 10 largest US cities,
that will be 1 million informants for a total population of almost 24 million, or one in 24
people.112
In December 2005, it was revealed by the New York Times that President Bush
authorized the secret wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping of American citizens by
the National Security Agency without an order of a court warrant.113 Even with the
lenient standards of the secretive 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)
courts, President Bush bypassed these rubber-stamp courts in the claim of expediency to
catch alleged terrorist communications. However, the FISA provisions take the need of
expediency into consideration. A wiretap can be executed and then, within 72 hours, the
FISA court can retroactively issue the warrant. President Bush didn’t even bother to do
that, he repeatedly issued his wiretap edicts, thumbed his nose at the civil liberty
protections, the constitutional checks and balances of the courts, and at the law. To
avoid any court warrants whatsoever is a violation of Federal law, including the Fourth
Amendment to the Constitution,114 and it is another instance where the administration is
acting more like a despot than an elected official. Even as recently as 2004, President
Bush reiterated that whenever the U.S. does a wiretap, a court order is required. He said
in an election speech, "Any time you hear the United States government talking about
wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order…nothing has changed, by the way.
When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court
order before we do so.”115 In the aftermath of the disclosure, and the President’s
admission of authorizing past and future Warrantless searches, a judge on the FISA
court
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 301
resigned in protest.116 For a President who appoints judges to the Supreme Court on the
basis of being a “strict constructionist” to avoid judicial activism (judges that legislate
from the bench,) it sure reeks of a double standard when the President makes the absurd
and overreaching claim that his title of Commander in Chief inherently grants him
powers not enumerated in the Constitution.117
This power grab for executive branch omnipotence by the President has been described
in the editorial pages as “[the] revelation about NSA spying demonstrates that the
administration has lost its sense of balance between essential anti-terrorism tools and
encroachment on liberties,”118 “Bush's unilateral authorization granting the National
Security Agency the power to wiretap American citizens and others in the United States
without a warrant is so dangerously ill-conceived and contrary to this nation's guiding
principles…This is part of an imperial presidency that has emerged under Bush since the
9/11 terrorist attacks,”119 “the revelation in the New York Times that the National
Security Agency has been eavesdropping on people within the United States without
judicial warrants was stunning,” “In one of the more egregious cases of governmental
overreach in the aftermath of 9/11,”120 “Lawmakers must make it clear to President Bush
that, as the Supreme Court noted last year, the struggle with foreign enemies does not
simply give him a blank check to do whatever he wants,”121 “Warrantless intelligence
surveillance by an executive branch unaccountable to any judicial officer -- and
apparently on a large scale -- is gravely dangerous,”122 and “The idea that all of this is
being done to us in the name of national security doesn't wash; that is the language of a
police state. Those are the unacceptable actions of a police state.”123 Thomas Donlan, the

...Putting the president above the Congress is an invitation to tyranny. The president has
no powers except those specified in the Constitution and those enacted by law…Surely the
"strict constructionists" on the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary eventually will
point out what a stretch this is…There's not much fidelity in an executive who debates and
lobbies Congress to shape a law to his liking and then goes beyond its writ. Willful
disregard of a law is potentially an impeachable offense. It is at least as impeachable as
having a sexual escapade under the Oval Office desk and lying about it later. The members
of the House Judiciary Committee who staged the impeachment of President Clinton
ought to be as outraged at this situation.124
Former White House Counsel John Dean, a key figure in the Watergate resignation, said
that President Bush “is the first President to admit to an impeachable offense.”125 In an
unscientific poll, results from MSNBC indicated nearly 90% of those polled, felt that
President Bush had committed “high crimes and misdemeanors” and should be
impeached.126 The dire warning of twenty years ago by Senator Frank Church of the
dangers of a modernized and technologically inescapable Big Brother is being realized,
and tyranny is only another false flag event away.

Open Planning for Martial Law and Concentration Camps.
After 9/11 the plans for martial law have become more openly discussed. In the 1986
Iran-Contra Tower Commission Hearings, U.S. Representative Jack Brooks D-TX
questioned Lt. Col. Oliver North about his involvement in the Continuity of Government
plans in the case of an attack on the U.S. that disrupted the structure of government that
would allow for the Executive Branch to set-aside the U.S. Constitution. This nervous
exchange was quickly quashed by Senator Daniel Inouye D-HI. Representative Brooks
asked Col. North the following question:
I was particularly concerned Mr. Chairman, because I read in Miami papers and several
others that there had been a plan developed by that same agency, a contingency plan in
the event of an emergency that would suspend the American constitution and I was deeply
concerned about it. I'm wondering if that was the area in which he had worked.
In today’s present politically paranoid climate, the multiple triggers of implementing
martial law are now being discussed without the need for secrecy that was apparent
during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. There is open discussion of quarantines of cities
and states due to a H15N bird flu outbreak, closing the borders, or other emergencies
such as the use of a “dirty-bomb” to a nuclear detonation in a U.S. city. Progress has
been made in the erosion of the protections of Posse Comitatus which keep federal
troops from performing domestic law enforcement. Blackwater MERC’s conducting house to

of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.” Franks then offered
“in a practical sense” what he thinks would happen in the aftermath of such an attack. “It
means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualtyproducing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of
America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to

to concentration camps. In fascist and totalitarian states, there must always be an enemy

There actually exists in America already a mysterious stone monument resembling
England’s megalith Stonehenge that celebrates this idea of drastically reducing the
world’s population to a level of 500 million located in a remote town in Georgia and is
called the Georgia Guidestones.139 To reduce the present world’s population of 6.5 billion
people to 500 million would take an unheard of method of slaughter and produce a
global bloodbath that would exceed the horrors of the German death camps by a 1000
fold. Would it be a world war with nuclear weapons? Would it be a world-wide pandemic
of some virulent virus with no known cure or would it be a tailored genetic weapon
designed to kill off undesirable races of people? Imagine if you will the extreme
arrogance of the Nazi regime to create a monument to the Holocaust before WW2 had
even begun? That is where we stand today. These psychopaths are actually taunting us,

Academics Compare Present Developments to Fascism.
President James Madison wrote that the slide to despotism is more likely to come about
slowly with devious calculation, than by sudden upheaval. He said, "I believe there are
more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent
encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." Fascism,
according to the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, “should more appropriately be called
corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”141 Does that not
accurately describe the present state of affairs in the United States to a degree? Fascism
has many degrees of implementation, but the most common image that we’ve all been
indoctrinated to believe that would be an earmark of the state becoming a fascist system
would be a modern parallel to the black-booted, coal-scuttled helmet wearing, and black
uniformed Nazi stormtroopers marching in goosestep formation with heels clicking in
military precision.
You cannot look at many examples American government and federal building
architecture without seeing the very symbols of Italian fascism, the fasces (bundled rods
tied together with an axe head in the form of a cylinder), adorning U.S. Post Office
buildings, reverse sides of coins, state flags, on either side of the U.S. flag in the Chamber
of the House of Representatives in the Congress Building, and upon the seat of the
Lincoln Memorial. You may have visually seen these architectural symbols, but did not
recognize their meaning and significance, and thus lacked understanding. They are
everywhere for all to see; all but invisible to the unobservant or to the unlearned.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 309
The degree of successfully enacted and implemented fascist measures depends on what
the setting the stove burner is on when you are cooking the oblivious frog. Supreme
Court Justice William O. Douglas provided a metaphor that is especially appropriate. He
wrote, O
“As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a
twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such a twilight that
we must be aware of the change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting
victims of the darkness.”
The carefully crafted imagery is just that, an image cultivated by the media. Paul Bigioni
writes in an eye opening article “Fascism then, Fascism now:”
Most people associate fascism with concentration camps and rows of storm troopers, yet
they know nothing of the political and economic processes that led to these horrible end
results. Before the rise of fascism, Germany and Italy were, on paper, liberal democracies.
Fascism did not swoop down on these nations as if from another planet, it crept in on
silent cat’s paws instead of a pounce. Fascist dictatorship’s in Italy and Germany was the
result of slow, calculated, and methodical political and economic changes these nations
underwent while they were still democratic.142
The cancerous substance of fascism is present even today, and is growing rapidly like a
rampant malignant tumor. The ideals of Nazi fascism were imported in the 1920’s and
30’s with the German-American Bund Party,143 and by certain elite fraternal
organizations of Germanic death cults origin like secretive Skull and Bone’s society from
Yale and have largely remained undetected in America. It took deep root and has

foundations. American Nazism had its ardent supporters and admirers from within the
elite Eastern Establishment and they actively served to strengthen Germany and Hitler,
and even attempted the 1934 Business Coup against Roosevelt, and Operation Paperclip
gave the movement new blood to continue in America after the German defeat. In case
you needed one more credible reference from traditional mainstream journalism,
Harper’s Magazine, a long-lived and also a highly respected and prestigious journal, in
October 2005, the editor wrote that the U.S. is not on the course to fascism, rather, that
the U.S. currently - IS - fascist. He writes in dire warning in the clearest possible
language:
By retrieving from our historical memory only the vivid and familiar images of fascist
tyranny (Gestapo firing squads, Soviet labor camps, the chimneys at Treblinka), we lose
sight of the faith-based initiatives that sustained the tyrant's rise to glory.
By matching Eco's list of fascist commandments against our record of achievement, we
can see how well we've begun the new project for the next millennium - the notion of
absolute and eternal truth embraced by the evangelical Christians and embodied in the
strict constructions of the Constitution; our national identity provided by anonymous
Arabs; Darwin's theory of evolution rescinded by the fiat of "intelligent design"; a state of
perpetual war and a government administering, in generous and daily doses, the drug of
fear; two presidential elections stolen with little or no objection on the part of a
complacent populace; the nation's congressional districts gerrymandered to defend the
White House for the next fifty years against the intrusion of a liberal-minded president;
the news media devoted to the arts of iconography, busily minting images of corporate
executives like those of the emperor heroes on the coins of ancient Rome.
The early twentieth-century fascisms didn't enter their golden age until the proletariat in
the countries that gave them birth had been reduced to abject poverty. The music and the
marching songs rose with the cry of eagles from the wreckage of the domestic economy.
On the evidence of the wonderful work currently being done by the Bush Administration
with respect to the trade deficit and the national debt -- to say nothing of expanding the
markets for global terrorism -- I think we can look forward with confidence to characterbuilding

bankruptcies, picturesque bread riots, thrilling cavalcades of splendidly costumed
motorcycle police.144
Americans have dangerously forgotten the valuable lessons of history; have been left
behind and uneducated to the real perils that are slowly creeping, being maneuvered
into their staging positions. In war, generals logistically preposition troops, weapons,
and equipment before engaging the enemy. Major battles like the sneak attack at Pearl
Harbor, the invasion of Normandy or Desert Storm take months, even years to pre-plan,
train for, and stage equipment. Would any of those items listed on the preceding pages,
if but not for the climate of fear created and the paranoia continuously foisted upon us
after the terror of 9/11 and subsequent staged reinforcing events, have been allowed to
be passed? Liberties are not seized all at once, they are surrendered in degrees.
Each compromise is in reality a surrender, ground given up, potentially unrecoverable.
Consider for a moment how difficult it is to repeal an imposed tax; do you honestly think
and believe that a power-grabbing executive branch, or “leader,” is going to freely return
civil liberties at the end of an already described conflict that is an endless struggle
against a state-less enemy such as “terrorism?” Did the German citizenry ever have any
of the rights they temporarily surrendered to the state rights unilaterally returned to
them prior to their defeat in WW2? There is no such thing as a temporary surrendering
of rights. Florentine political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, an advisor to the powerful
House of Medici in Renaissance Italy, describes the methodology to quietly transition
one form of government to another, right in front of the distracted masses by
maintaining some “semblance of Sith Lord or SWAT Shock Trooper? Futuristic visions of an

the old forms,” the necessary continuation of the illusion of the old system. He writes:
He who desires or attempts to reform the government of a state, and wishes to have it
accepted and capable of maintaining itself to the satisfaction of everybody, must at least
retain the semblance of the old forms; so that it may seem to the people that there has
been no change in the institutions, even though in fact they are entirely different from the
old ones. For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they
were realities, and are often even more influenced by the things that seem than by those
that are.145
American politics has kept the old forms and historical myths and traditions, but there is
a definite change in the air. Historian Laurence Britt, Ph.D., in his widely circulated
article “Fascism Anyone,” compiled a list of fourteen characteristics and common
threads of seven nations that were totalitarian or despotic, and how they arose and
maintained their power.146 Through lens of unfiltered history, this list paints a chilling
portrait of the degree of progress of the fascist direction America is marching blindly
towards today.147
If you had to answer the question of what a police state looked like, or were
hypothetically in an academic exercise, going to fashion your own dictatorship, wouldn’t
many of the above items be on your list? Wouldn’t they? If the famed political historian
Hannah Arendt were still alive today, she might have to revise here classic treatise The
Origins of Totalitarianism and add a chapter for a case study of the current state of
affairs in the budding of a fascist Amerika. May God help those of you with eyes, but
cannot or will not see; those of you that have ears, but hear not.148 Winston Churchill
defined the hallmark quality of despotism when he wrote:
The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge
known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers,
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 313
is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government
whether Nazi or Communist. ~ Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister.
Historian Chalmers Johnson writes of four sorrows to befall America if she does not
alter course, if the People fail to see the danger. He writes:
Four sorrows, it seems to me, are certain to be visited on the United States. Their
cumulative effect guarantees that the U.S. will cease to resemble the country outlined in
the Constitution of 1787. First, there will be a state of perpetual war, leading to more
terrorism against Americans wherever they may be and a spreading reliance on nuclear
weapons among smaller nations as they try to ward off the imperial juggernaut. Second is
a loss of democracy and Constitutional rights as the presidency eclipses Congress and is
itself transformed from a co-equal "executive branch" of government into a military junta.
Third is the replacement of truth by propaganda, disinformation, and the glorification of
war, power, and the military legions. Lastly, there is bankruptcy, as the United States
pours its economic resources into ever more grandiose military projects and shortchanges
the education, health, and safety of its citizens.149
Do you see any current levels in parallel currently in the U.S. with what he warns
against? The government has already been described by high-ranking former members
as being dominated by a “cabal” in the highest levels of the Bush Administration.150 A
“cabal” is usually defined as either: “A conspiratorial group of plotters or intriguers;” or
as “A secret scheme or plot.”151 It’s highly disconcerting when a former member of the
Bush Administration is characterizing them as “conspiratorial schemers and plotters.”
Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell
characterized the decision-making process in the White House as “…insular and secret
workings were efficient and swift — not unlike the decision-making one would associate
more with a dictatorship than a democracy.”152 Let’s repeat that, the decision-makers
“associate
more
with
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 314
dictatorship than democracy.” Do I have your attention? Whether it is given the
whitewash treatment and called “friendly fascism,” “benevolent fascism,” or even
something ridiculous such as “smiley-faced fascism,” the threat is still the same, the
destruction of the Constitution and the end of the American Dream. Senator Huey Long
once said: "if fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag."
In late December 2000, then President-Elect George W. Bush casually related during the
transition process that “If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so
long as I'm the dictator.”153 Most recently, it was reported that President Bush, when
referring to potential conflicts of the Patriot Act with the Constitution expressed his
frustration by screaming, “I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President
and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way. Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,
it’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”154 His language in describing the limits of his wartime power of the executive branch as “plenary”155 which is defined as “complete in all
respects, unlimited or full,” and also as “absolute.”156 Sounds like a dictatorship in its
infancy to me. When talking about the secret deal to hand over control of several U.S.
ports to the management by companies of United Arab Emirates and Dubai, President
Bush desperately attempted to allay the public’s fears when he mentioned: “The more

wanna-be dictator would dare to talk in terms of their government. This is should be
deeply disturbing to public and setting off alarm bells. O Villian, villian, smiling, damned villian!

Remember the psychiatric DSM-IV diagnosis criteria from chapter two? He already
claims to be above the law and beyond public questioning when he stated to reporter
Bob Woodward: “I’m the commander. See, I don’t have to explain why I say things.
That’s the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain
to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.”157
Conservative Republican Paul Craig Roberts, member of the Reagan Administration
claimed in a radio interview with Alex Jones that:
I think the United States government is in the hands of psychopaths. I mean these are insane,
dangerous people. They are a disgrace to the human race; they certainly are a disgrace to every
American. These people somehow have to be rounded up and held accountable, every one of them
as far as I am concerned is a war criminal, they should be turned over to the court in the Hague. I
don’t think we’ve seen an administration this evil in my lifetime, and that includes Stalin and
Hitler.158
Dr. Roberts continues in another article written, “Bush Has Crossed the Rubicon,” and
makes a chilling parallel with President Bush to Julius Caesar marking the defining
moment when the Rome was transformed from a Republic into an Empire when Caesar
crossed the river Rubicon with his troops of Roman legionnaires into the previously
traditionally forbidden city of Rome to seize singular control of the Roman government
and Senate. He writes,
Dictatorships seldom appear full-fledged but emerge piecemeal. When Julius Caesar
crossed the Rubicon with one Roman legion he broke the tradition that protected the
civilian government from victorious generals and launched the transformation of the
Roman Republic into the Roman Empire…In this first decade of the 21st century the
United States regards itself as a land of democracy and civil liberty but, in fact, is an
incipient dictatorship. Ideology plays only a limited role in the emerging dictatorship. The
demise of American democracy is largely the result of historical developments…President
Bush has used "signing statements" hundreds of times to vitiate the meaning of statutes
passed by Congress. In effect, Bush is vetoing the bills he signs into law by asserting
unilateral authority as commander-in-chief to bypass or set aside the laws he
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 316
signs…In effect, Bush is asserting the powers that accrued to Hitler in 1933. His Federalist
Society apologists and Department of Justice appointees claim that President Bush has
the same power to interpret the Constitution as the Supreme Court…The commander-inchief role is probably sufficiently elastic to expand to any crisis, whether real or fabricated.
Thus has the US arrived at the verge of dictatorship.159
Is it already too late?
According to the governments official story, the courageous passengers of Flight 93, (the
aircraft that was actually shot down over Pennsylvania on 9/11,) speak to the heroism
and self-sacrifice common to most Americans. They wrestled control away from the
hijackers knowing that they could possibly die, or that the aircraft would be crashed into
some undetermined target, yet they chose to risk, to be daring, and to not accept the fate
that the hijackers had planned for them, they died on their own terms. They knew the
risks, yet they took them anyways. They knew the consequences if they just sat back in
their seats and quietly accepted the fate that was before them. Our country, our
government, and even elements of our military have been hijacked. It is undeniable and
uncontestable. Sitting back and waiting for someone else to do will just allow this
tyranny to goosestep into your living room. After World War II, many people wondered
how the German people could allow an evil and brutal dictator like Adolph Hitler to rise
to power, or how they could have possibly turned a blind eye to the building of the
concentration camps. Milton Mayer, describing the way Nazism slowly, but
methodically, developed in Germany writes in the 1955 book They Thought They Were
Free, The Germans, 1933-45,
Suddenly it all comes down, all at once. You see what you are, what you have done, or,
more accurately, what you haven't done, (for that was all that was required of most of us:
that we do nothing). You remember the occasions in which maybe if you had stood others
would have stood too. You remember Are you a going to be a sniveling, groveling, boot
licking
minion?
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 317
everything now, and your heart breaks. Too late. You are compromised beyond repair.160
In the midst of the consolidation of Nazi power in Germany do you think the “good
German’s” didn’t go to a job, drink at the pub, worked in the factories and the farms,
made sure that the trains or the Zeppelin’s ran on time, they went to the theatre, got
married, took their kids to school or church, went to the annual Oktoberfest festivals, or
the attend museums and galleries, vacation in the mountains, visit the circus, attend
sporting events? Life in Nazi Germany was not just the ubiquitous caricatures we see
portrayed in Hollywood films, it wasn’t just endless Nuremberg rallies and repetitions of
“Sieg Heils.” Hitler first appeared as a religious man to his countrymen and kissed
babies when he campaigned. He thought he was doing the right thing for his nation. The
Nazi fascist state was built all out in the open in a period of less than ten years while
people went on with their lives unaware of the fate to befall them, with daily life only
interrupted by a few phony terror events, such as the Reichstag fire. They were also a
frog in a slowly boiling pot. Once everything was in place, the pieces on the chessboard
set in their optimal positions, only then did all hell break loose. They thought they were
free.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 318
In contrast to the oblivious “good German Syndrome,” you can choose such courage and
heroism also. If we fail, if we bury our collective heads in the sand, “mind our own
business” and look away, then in some not-so-distant future, our descendants will curse
us for our self-blindness, they will hurl bitter accusations against us for letting this
happen on our watch, and they will mock us for being so collectively stupid for falling for
the oldest and continuously running political con game.
On the eve of the famous Battle at the little mission in San Antonio de Béxar, the Alamo,
the commanding officer Colonel William Travis allegedly stood before his contingent of
only about 250 men, including the 12-man Tennessee Mounted Volunteers, the New
Orleans Greys, and also such individual legendary heroes as Sam Bowie and
frontiersman Davy Crocket. Heavily outnumbered and outgunned, they faced off against
Mexican General Santa Ana and his army of approximately 1600 troops. Travis stood
before his assembled men and drew a line in the sand with his cavalry sword and asked
those in the formation if they would dare cross the line to stay and defend the Alamo
against the most impossible odds of survival and likely facing the ultimate outcome of
the impending deadly siege. According to the legend, all but one man crossed the line,
and the invalid Bowie asked to be carried across the line. They stayed knowing they
would die, and their sacrifice has lived on in memory to this day. Are you made of such
mettle?

See Black, Edmund. IBM and the Holocaust. Only after Jews were identified -- a massive and complex task
that Hitler wanted done immediately -- could they be targeted for efficient asset confiscation, ghettoization,
deportation, enslaved labor, and, ultimately, annihilation. It was a cross-tabulation and organizational
challenge so monumental, it called for a computer. Of course, in the 1930s no computer existed. But IBM's
Hollerith punch card technology did exist. Aided by the company's custom-designed and constantly updated
Hollerith systems, Hitler was able to automate his persecution of the Jews. Historians have always been
amazed at the speed and accuracy with which the Nazis were able to identify and locate European Jewry. Until
now, the pieces of this puzzle have never been fully assembled. The fact is, IBM technology was used to
organize nearly everything in Germany and then Nazi Europe, from the identification of the Jews in censuses,
registrations, and ancestral tracing programs to the running of railroads and organizing of concentration camp
slave labor. IBM and its German subsidiary custom-designed complex solutions, one by one, anticipating the
Reich's needs. They did not merely sell the machines and walk away. Instead, IBM leased these machines for
high fees and became the sole source of the billions of punch cards Hitler needed.

Joy, Bill. “Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us.” Wired Magazine. 1 April 2000. “Due to improved techniques
the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the
masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to
exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or
biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to
the elite. Or, if the elite consists of soft-hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of good shepherds to
the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone's physical needs are satisfied, that all children are
raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and
that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes "treatment" to cure his "problem." Of course, life will be
so purposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their
need for the power process or make them "sublimate" their drive for power into some harmless hobby. These
engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they will most certainly not be free. They will
have been reduced to the status of domestic animals.”

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick
at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put
your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus,
and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the
people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at
all! ~ Mario Savio 3 Dec. 1964 Speech before Free Speech Movement, Berkeley, CA.
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a seer of Troy who was given the gift of prescience
by Apollo, but not the power of persuasion after she rebuffed his advances. During the
Trojan War with Sparta and the Achaeans, she tried desperately in vain to warn the
citizens of Troy about the danger posed by the gift of the Trojan Horse, which proved to
be a trap, the death of Agamemnon, and the Fall of Troy, but she was ultimately
disbelieved by her people. Her family believed she had gone mad and locked her up. For
her inability to convince others of what she accurately predicted, as well as from her
incarceration, she was driven mad. This myth is important to know because if or when
you begin to tell others you will face strong resistance and even hostility when telling
others of this material.
The information and analysis I have presented in this book is undoubtedly
uncomfortable. The most common reactions to it are to look away, denial, revulsion,
fear, hostility, anger, or shock. The time for temperance is drawing short. Become an
informed, vigilant citizen, and a resolute defender of freedom and liberty. It’s time to get
off the sidelines, off the spectator stands and to get on Cassandra, Seer of Troy
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 333
the field of battle. Do not be consigned to being a downtrodden drone or “serf” shuffling
with your eyes averted downward, head hung in fealty and shame, to serve at the
pleasure and whims of the master elite oligarchs and plutocrats. It would be a better fate
to be accused as an insurgent fighting for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, than
minion for the New World Order.
Dare to ask questions, investigate and research the material I presented, put it to the
test. Confirm or rationally dispute what you have just read. Look beyond the mindnumbing, deliberate and systemic dumb-downed mind control programming of the
corporate owned mass-media and especially in the outcome-based, Skinnerian operant
conditioning education system,1 and consider the hidden agendas and the government
motives. Our forefathers did not have the so-called limitations or disadvantages of being
without corporate owned media conglomerates and news networks. Look at what they
accomplished, against the British Empire, the largest and strongest of their day and with
so little. The hardest part is deciding to give a shit again. You have to just decide to stop
taking it, to stop taking the abuse, the corruption, the phony excuses and lies, the theft,
and the mass killing. Get mad and just stop taking it.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth is revolutionary.
~ George Orwell Freedom of Speech
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 334
An American Legacy of Patriotic Dissent and Protest.
In a fundamental sense, no political or human rights have ever been secured by military
forces, or by police forces. Contrary to popular opinion, they do not secure our liberties;
they secure the interests of the state and often of the multi-national corporate business
model. The strength of the current system of government is absolutely dependant on one
of two things, apathy or fear. If you don’t care and “mind your own business” and don’t
get involved, they win; if you are afraid and don’t participate, they win.
In countries with a recent taste of authoritarian corruption or dictatorship, such as in
Latin American or in East European nations, oppressed people in the initial stages of the
protest or uprising, are often brutally repressed by the state police or military. If the
people persevere and maintain their bearing, eventually the police and military gradually
weaken their support for the state and begin to side with the protesters. When the
protest reaches its highest populations and effectiveness, and machinery of the state are
stopped, shut down, when it has absorbed the punishments of the state and will not back
down, the military and the police join the protesters and throw the tyrants out of office.
The Ukrainian Orange Revolution of 2004-5, the Georgian Rose Revolution of 2003, the
Romanian Revolution of 1989, the Polish Solidarity Labor Movement, the Bolivian 2003
water and oil resource demonstrations and the anti-corruption protests in 2005 averted
a civil war and led to an overhaul of the government. In the United States, the People
have not known overt tyranny since the 1700’s, perhaps the memory of those days has
been lost, and the memory of the noble cause that the Founding Father’s fought and died
for has been lost.
We the People are the ones who secure our rights and maintain our rights; they are not
privileges or licenses granted by the government. Military forces secure territory and
prevent external invasion or other forms of attacks. Police forces Protest is patriotism –
Freedom

enforce state and local laws and secure the general order. Fundamental human rights
and human dignity have only been demanded and secured throughout history by an
informed, vigilant, and energetic citizenry, often unarmed and disadvantaged, standing
against the state and its military power and demanding their rights and seizing them.
Generally, the police and the military, unless they give support and loyalty to the
movements of protest, or withhold it from the state, are the security apparatus of the
status quo and they are used by the state, sometimes brutally, to suppress and repress
the citizen’s demands for their rights. Without the ability of citizens to nonviolently
protest and engage in the rich history and time-honored practice of civil disobedience in
this country, many of the rights we Americans enjoy today would not have been possible.
The state is not going to voluntarily give these rights, they had to be claimed and taken
back, not without resisting often after conflict with the apparatus that the state can bring
to bear against the claimant.
It took a Revolutionary War to throw British rulers and their loyalist crony stooges off
the continent. Citizen and patriot movements protesting English stamp and tea taxes,
complaining and arguing arose from the pubs in New England and were the building
blocks of this country. This country was founded by people who were pissed off and
angry, who weren’t afraid to meet as militia against the marching British troops armed
with musket and bayonets on the bridge to Lexington and C0ncord. Anger management
and “positive thinking” would have snuffed out the flames of liberty that were sparked at
the Boston Massacre, they decided they had had enough, and at the potential cost of life
and limb, liberty and property, they acted. It also took a bloody Civil War to secure the
freedom of the Slaves.
Abolitionists like ex-slave Frederick Douglas, publisher of the North Star, and
insurrectionist John Brown led movements against slavery, Susan B. Anthony and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton co-founded and led the National Woman’s Suffrage Association
for women’s right to vote, unionized labor and work-place gains,
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 336
environmental movements, the Civil Rights movement, or the anti-war Vietnam protest
marches would have never been successful without courageous individuals to stand up
and do something.
Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks showed incredible dignity, personal courage, and a
classic example of peaceful civil disobedience by not going to the back of the bus, and
was arrested. She, and many other Black leaders, including a young minister named
Martin Luther King, Jr., helped to start the Montgomery Bus Boycott for 381 days until
the segregation laws were lifted. Vivian Malone and James Hood marched through
violent, hostile, and abusive crowds, including State Troopers of Alabama, at the
University of Alabama to face off against Governor George Wallace at the front of the
school-house door to fight against desegregation in Alabama’s state colleges. Other nonviolent examples of successful protest include: The Freedom Riders in May 1963, Lunch
Counter Sit-ins at Greensboro, North Carolina, the Selma to Montgomery Marches and
the Bloody Sunday protests.2
In 1965, César Chávez led the United Farm Workers on lengthy and successful strikes
against commercial growers for rights and fair wages for exploited migrant workers,
including using hunger strikes. The 1967 Dow Chemical student sit-ins and strikes as the
University of Wisconsin and the violent and brutal crackdown by police that put 65
students into the hospital. The 1970 Kent State student massacre by Ohio National
Guard troops revealed the growing frustrations of the American public at the
government for the conduct of the Vietnam War and tragically led to inexperienced
troops firing on the unarmed and protesting students. The killings helped to galvanize
protest movements across U.S. college campuses and hastened the end of the war by
stirring the national outrage created by the senseless slaughter of the students.
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 337
In 1989, in the Tiananmen Square student protests, a lone and brave protester for
democratic reforms and human rights interposed himself between the state and the
students peacefully demonstrating, stopping a column of four Chinese tanks. Rachel
Corrie stood up against tyranny in Israel by placing herself in front of bulldozers set
destroy civilian Palestinian homes in occupied Gaza, sacrificing her life for justice as she
was run over by the Army bulldozer.3Even today, Cindy Sheehan, a mother of a slain
U.S. soldier killed in Iraq, dared to speak out to the Emperor in Crawford, TX, and tell
him he has no clothes. She dares to think for herself and ask questions that our elected
leaders have failed to do. She does not parrot the daily talking points of either party. On
September 24, 2005, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Washington at the
Ellipse to call for the impeachment of the President and the administration, the next day
only a few hundred showed up to support the war.4
T
for us now; it’s now going to be up to you and me. If you value freedom, it’s your solemn
duty and sacred obligation to the present and the future, as well as to the memory and
legacy of those who came before you, to speak up and protest. Your silence is tacit
approval; your acquiescence, your surrender; to the destruction of all the ideals and
victories gained foand their sacrifices of sweat, blood, and their lives. Is the comfort of
your weekly paycheck and false security in a world of government sponsored fraudulent
terrorism worth the surrender of your freedoms? Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Nobel

pick his neighbors and himself in the nightly round-ups,
like if every police operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been
uncertain whether he would return alive? If during periods of mass arrests people had not
simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and
at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly
set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers,
pokers, or whatever was at hand? The organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage
of officers and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have
ground to a halt." ~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Nobel Prize winner and author of The Gulag
Archipelago, who spent 11 years in Soviet concentration camps.
A Difficult Message to Our Soldiers
If you are a soldier, you took an oath of l
defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,
and also to bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” The military oath requires
primary allegiance to the Constitution, not to illegal orders given by either the President,
or from your superiors, by virtue of its placement first in the oath. In fact, the command
to follow the orders of the President comes third in the hierarchy of the oath, and allows
for the exceptions provided for in the Uniform Code of Military Justice to not follow
unlawful orders. In other words, you are required and duty-bound to disobey unlawful
orders, from any commander.
Y
you alone will face whatever consequences result from your actions. Do not surrender
your right to make your own ethical determinations. You have already seen
demonstrated how they will hang you out to dry for following their illegal orders while
they that issue them unjustly go unpunished. If you follow orders to Concord and Lexington

your oath and to your country.
H
many presidents beginning with Nixon and Ford, has been a critical member of the
upper echelon of government. He continues to be a key advisor and power behind the
scenes. He has said of military men: “Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be
used as pawns in foreign policy.”5 What a cold and dispassionate statement by a socalled “respected” statesman of America. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld couldn’t
be bothered to personalize death notifications and used a rubber stamp to methodically
issue his signature on KIA notices.6 Soldiers did not warrant a hand signature from the
Secretary of Defense. In the buildup to the Iraq war, Barbara Bush quipped: "Why
should we hear about body bags and deaths. Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should
I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"7 President Bush has not been to one
serviceman’s funeral that he sent to Afghanistan or Iraq. Are you a pawn for the elite
policy makers? Are you an expendable piece on a grand chessboard? Are you cannonfodder? If your leaders and their trusted advisors have such little regard for the
American soldier, imagine the regard they have the general civilian population that you
defend? Are those the type of statements that “supporting the troops?” Do you really
want to squander and throw your life into the meat-grinder for this leadership of filth?

Cleland and former POW McCain,9 imagine what they truly think of you; they turned the
Purple Heart into an object of scorn and ridicule – a running political joke at the
Republican Convention, attack dog Limbaugh’s smear attacks on the Iraq war veteran
Paul Hackett running for office in Ohio claiming he only served to help him in politics to
“pad his resume,”10 kept silent when Republican mistress and black-hearted mouthpiece
Ann Coulter spit the venom that claimed Cleland fell on his grenade in Vietnam to get
out of the war.11 James Webb, former Secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan
recently wrote that young American’s serving presently have every right to suspect that
their service is, and will not, be honored by those that have sent them on their missions
and by those that have purposely avoided military service. He writes,
service will be deliberately misconstrued 20 years from now, in the next rendition of

Consider also the shabby neglectful treatment and
fellow soldiers have faced by being unwitting lab-rats for the military and the
pharmaceutical industrial complex in their chemical-biological weapons, and vaccine
experiments. Consider how the Republican led Congress and the Bush Administration
has CUT the funding for the VA and for veterans benefits by $24 billion over the next
several years.13 Retired Marine Corps General Joseph P. Hoar stated on Veterans Day,
"President Bush has consistently refused to provide enough" money for veterans' health
care Earlier this year, his administration admitted that they were $1 billion short in
funding for critical health care services. They also repeatedly tried to increase the cost of
prescription drugs and health care services for veterans nationwide.”14 Consider how
President Bush and the Congress have cut first responder benefits and agency funding.15

to increase your protest range – use a video camera to document any reaction (especially
police reaction or overreaction), and attend and vocalize at local government meetings

participation, participate in boycotts against exploitative multinational companies (such
as against Slave-Mart) that promote profit at the expense of slave and subsistence wages,
support worthy third-party candidates, vote with your wallet. Another novel method of

Patrick Henry in the Debate in Virginia Ratifying Convention 16 June 1788: “But Congress may introduce
the practice of the civil law, in preference to that of the common law. They may introduce the practice of
France, Spain, and Germany--of torturing, to extort a confession of the crime. They will say that they might as
well draw examples from those countries as from Great Britain, and they will tell you that there is such a
necessity of strengthening the arm of government, that they must have a criminal equity, and extort confession
by torture, in order to punish with still more relentless severity. We are then lost and undone.”

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 357
Truth is the Enemy of the State
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the
political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the
mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
~ Joseph Goebbels - Nazi Propaganda Minister
The greatest enemy of truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest but the myth - persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.
~ John F. Kennedy, June 11, 1962
Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked
by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the
power of man who can fabricate it... The stubbornness with which totalitarian dictators
have clung to their original lies in the fact of absurdity is more than superstitious gratitude
to what turned the trick, and, at least in the case of Stalin, cannot be explained by the
psychology of the liar whose very success may make him his own last victim. Once these
propaganda slogans are integrated into a 'living organization,' they cannot be safely
eliminated without wrecking the whole structure. ~
~ Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 1951
Let the Truth be told…though the Heaven’s fall.
~ Louisiana District Attorney James Garrison, during the Trial of Clay Shaw
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 358
Resources
Some of the sites I list below favor a popular (but contestable) theory that it was not AA75 757 that hit the Pentagon. Instead, proponents claim, some other type of aircraft, or
even a missile fired from a stand-of aircraft is what actually hit the undefended building,
during an unprecedented military stand-down. At present, in my personal opinion, the
preponderance of the available evidence suggests something other than Boeing 757 hit
the Pentagon, but for me personally, the higher standard “beyond a reasonable doubt” is
needed to fully support it, which in my estimation does not meet that level of certainty at
present. Perhaps if there was a real open-ended investigation into the event, with people
under oath and under penalty of perjury, some definitive answers on the Pentagon strike
might be forthcoming. Other 9/11 theories mentioned also include discussion of whether
or not there were external fuel tanks or missile pods attached on the 767 aircraft that hit
the World Trade Center buildings, and yet others have put forward diversionary theories
that 9/11 was pulled off with projected holograms, TV signal interruptions and planted
video-feeds, micro-nuclear charges, and missiles fired from adjacent buildings being
responsible. Imaginative theories such as the ones last mentioned, are exceedingly more
eccentric and highly speculative. This type of research is more characteristic of what
you’d find in a supermarket checkout tabloid conspiracy theory.
It is, in my opinion, speculative research created for the sake of an argumentative fallacy,
poisoning the well, and they should not be grafted onto and put forward as the strongest
arguments of the 9/11 Truth movement. Many of these, on their face, are very ludicrous
and only serve to create distraction from the solid research that has been done and
unnecessarily divide and to create friction within the 9/11 Truth movement that diverts
valuable time and energy away from exposing the real criminals of the 9/11 tragedy; in
some cases they are causing outright feuds that are completely non-productive between
proponents of the “sexed-up” theories. Only until certain people of suspicion are
interrogated (Guantanamo Bay style), or put under oath and diligently cross-examined,
will
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 359
the veil of secrecy be lifted, and until there is a critical mass of people awakened and
clamoring for another fully-open investigation empowered with subpoena power. We in
the 9/11 Truth movement already have a difficult enough task ahead of us in spreading
the most basic of the arguments of government complicity, controlled demolition, WTC7, etc., there is absolutely no need to compound the problem with anchoring the
arguments to dubious and, at best, tertiary “research” or analysis.
While I momentarily find some of these radical conspiracy de jour imaginative, thrilling,
and interesting to read about and to ponder, at this period in time I cannot subscribe to
those theories. I cannot disprove a negative, such as the question of what really hit the
Pentagon, or whether or not there were pods attached to the underside of the 767
aircraft, so I don’t hang my hat on that peg for the sake of the overall theory, but
nonetheless you should still be informed of them. Those sites, while having research of
questionable validity and overall value, still provide other areas of good analysis and are
repositories for insight. It is similar as to how a library contains competing books on
subjects by different authors; no one is being forced to hold a particular viewpoint that
they are not comfortable with. I believe that there are stronger arguments to be made
that pull the legs out of the official government conspiracy theory, such as WTC-7 and
the as yet undisclosed stock trades immediately prior to 9/11. In criminal cases,
prosecuting attorneys often have more evidence and more witnesses than they need to
present evidence. They then winnow down to their strongest arguments to present the
case before the jury, and that was my intent with this presentation. Nonetheless, these
competing theories are still valuable learning resources for the general 9/11 Truth
movement.

I remember asking Ray Downey was it the jet fuel that blew up. He said at that point he thought there were
bombs up there because it was too even. As we’ve since learned, it was the jet fuel that was dropping down
that caused all this. But he said it was too even.
Q. Symmetrical?
A. So his original thought was that he thought it was a bomb up there as well… We didn’t know the
building came down. We just knew the top of the building exploded and didn’t know what happened to the
rest of the building. You just couldn’t see anything.

A guy started screaming to run. When I got underneath the north bridge I looked back and you heard it, I
heard like every floor went chu-chu-chu. Looked back and from the pressure everything was getting blown
out of the floors before it actually collapsed.
~ James Curran -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.)
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/nyregion/20050812_WTC_GRAPHIC/9110412.PDF
___________________________________________________________________
After that, I still thought it was an explosion. I thought it was some kind of thermal explosion where I’m
either going to get burnt -- and I had kind of ideas that it was going to be something like Hiroshima where
all this heat was coming at me and we were going to get burnt or if the heat didn’t burn me, I thought that
all the parts coming out of this building, the windows, metal, all the things like that, that I might be
severed in half. It turned completely black.
~ George DeSimone, Firefighter, (F.D.N.Y.)
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/20050812_WTC_GRAPHIC/DeSimone_George.txt
___________________________________________________________________
After that it was kind of pandemonium. The U.S. marshals were saying a third plane was coming in. They
said there were bombs in all the buildings around there.

Tower one now comes down. Same thing but this time some of us take off straight down West Street,
because we realized later on, subconsciously we wanted to be near buildings. We all thought it was
secondary explosives or more planes or whatever.

I made it down Vesey Street to just in front of the overpass of 7 World Trade. People were saying don’t
stand under there, it’s going to come down. And then by the time I made it back around, I went to the front
on Church Street and came back around. The area we took that civilian out of had all collapsed. That
wasn’t
there
anymore.

So at that point we were a little leery about how the bridge was tied in, so no one was really going onto it,
and then they were also saying 7 was going to come down. They chased everyone off the block.
Q. You said before, Chief, that you heard bullets going off. Approximately how many did you hear?
A. Oh, it was like it was just constant. Constant. Whatever, I guess there were packages or something, and
as they heated up, they were just pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. They were going off like at a steady
rate.

I had heard right before the lights went out, I had heard a distant boom, boom, boom, sounded like three
explosions. I don't know what it was. At the time, I would have said they sounded like bombs, but it was
boom, boom, boom, and then the lights all go out. I hear someone say oh, shit, that was just for the lights
out. I would say about 3, 4 seconds, all of a sudden this tremendous roar. It sounded like being in a tunnel
with the train coming at you.

I pulled in front of the building. I looked up and I saw no fire coming out, no smoke coming out, which
would have been the west side of the building.
If I can back up, as we went down the street after the initial explosion of the plane hitting, we saw
[that] there was somewhat of a hole, from our position, certainly, maybe three or four of the stories, three
stories I think I said. Again, there was no fire coming out. So, when we got there, there was no fire and on
the west side there was no smoke. But there was an obvious hole in the building.
Actually, I was laying over him because he had no helmet or anything. Then we got up and we couldn’t see,
but it started to clear to like a brown, cloudy smoke, and I hear pop, pop, pop, which sounded like gunfire
to me. Then right after that I hear people screaming get down, get down. It’s not normal. I worked in the
ghetto long enough that you get down.
Q. Of course.
A. Because it sounded like gunfire and I’ve heard gunfire before. It could have been something totally
different. I have no idea. I grabbed the guy I was with and told him, hey, we have to get down; we have to
get some cover.

So we were there a few minutes, and we started to walk, make our way through the lobby to the other side.
I’d say we got maybe ten steps. We didn’t go very far. I heard sort of like a rumbling sound. We stopped,
looked at each other, and took off. We just took off away from the doors. Instead of running out, we ran to
our right, which would be toward the walls. It just happened really quick. I just remember running. Stack
was in front of me. Henry went to my left with the other guys. In about a second or two, you just heard like
a ba-ba-ba-boom, and everything just came down and everything was pitch-black.

The ground was shaking. I fell to the floor. My camera bag opened up. The cameras went skidding across
the floor. The windows started exploding in. I just rolled into the corner to protect myself from the glass.
The next thing I knew, it was pitch-black. You couldn’t see in front of you. You couldn’t breathe. Every
time you took a breath, you were just swallowing, you were gasping. I took my shirt off and wrapped it
around my head so I could breathe.
It felt like an eternity getting out of that building. I was disoriented. I knew the general idea of where I was.
I was actually thinking about going out the windows where the glass was broke, but I figured people were
still jumping and I didn’t know exactly what was going on outside. I’m thinking maybe the building
snapped in half. I’m thinking maybe a bomb blew up. I’m thinking it could have been a nuclear.

At that point I looked back and most of the people who were triaged in that area with the triage tags on
them got up and ran. I took a quick glance at the building and while I didn’t see it falling, I saw a large
section of it blasting out, which led me to believe it was just an explosion. I thought it was a secondary
device, but I knew that we had to go.

“The next thing I heard was Pete say what the fuck is this? And as my eyes traveled up the building, and I
was looking at the south tower, somewhere about halfway up, my initial reaction was there was a
secondary explosion, and the entire floor area, a ring right around the building blew out. I later realized
that the building had started to collapse already and this was the air being compressed and that is the floor
that let go. And as my eyes traveled further up the building, I realized that this building was collapsing and
I turned around and most everybody was ahead of me running for the garage…”

I was watching the fire, watching the people jump and hearing a noise and looking up and seeing -- it
actually looked -- the lowest floor of fire in the south tower actually looked like someone had planted
explosives around it because the whole bottom I could see (redacted portion) I could see two sides of it and
the other side, it just looked like that floor blew out.
I looked up and you could actually see everything blew out on the one floor. I thought, geez, this looks like
an explosion up there, it blew out. Then I guess in some sense of time we looked at it and realized, no,
actually it just collapsed. That’s what blew out the windows, not that there was an explosion there but that
windows blew out. The realization hit that it’s going to fall down, the top’s coming off. I was still thinking - there was never a thought that this whole thing is coming down. I thought that that blew out and stuff is
starting to fly down. The top is going to topple off there.

We looked up at the building straight up, we were that close. All we saw was a puff of smoke coming from
about 2 thirds of the way up. Some people thought it was an explosion. I don't think

I remember that. I remember seeing; it looked like sparkling around one specific layer of the building. I
assume now that that was either windows starting to collapse like tinsel or something. Then the building
started to come down. My initial reaction was that this was exactly the way it looks when they show you
those implosions on TV.

Just as I go out of the building, one of my guys says hey Captain, the building is coming down. I looked
over my shoulder and you could see the whole top of the south tower leaning towards us. It looked like it
was coming over. You could see the windows pop out just like in the picture, looked like a movie. I saw one
floor of windows pop out, like poof, poof. I saw one and a half floors pop out. It looked almost like an
explosion. The whole top was teetering, and I really thought just the top of the building was falling off. I
didn’t think there was any way we were going to make it out because just being this close; it looked like it’s
leaning right on top of us.

We both for whatever reason -- again, I don't know how valid this is with everything that was going on at
that particular point in time, but for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the Trade
Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down, that I saw low-level flashes. In my conversation with
Lieutenant Evangelista, never mentioning this to him, he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level
flashes in front of the building, and I agreed with him because I thought -- at that time I didn't know what
it was.
I mean, it could have been as a result of the building collapsing, things exploding, but I saw a flash, flash,
flash, and then it looked like the building came down. You know like when they demolish a building, how
when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That's what I thought I saw. And I didn't broach the
topic to him, but he asked me. He said I don't know if I'm crazy, but I just wanted to ask you because you
were standing right next to me. He said did you see anything by the building? And I said what do you
mean by see anything? He said did you see any flashes? I said, yes, well, I thought it was just me. He said
no, I saw them, too.

Then that's when -- I kept on walking close to the south tower, and that's when that building collapsed. ...
It was a frigging noise. At first I thought it was -- do you ever see professional demolition where they set
the charges on certain floors and then you hear "Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop"? That's exactly what -- because I
thought it was that. When I heard that frigging noise, that's when I saw the building coming down.

Meanwhile we were standing there with about five companies and we were just waiting for our assignment
and then there was an explosion in the south tower, which, according to this map, this exposure just blew
out the flames. A lot of guys left at that point. I kept watching. Floor, after floor, after floor. One floor
under another after another and when it hit about the fifth floor, I figured it was a bomb, because it looked
like a synchronized deliberate kind of thing. I was there in '93.

building appeared to blowout from both sides. I'm looking at the face of it, and all we see is the two sides of
the building just blowing out and coming apart like this, as I said, like the top of a volcano.

The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 372
Addendum 2: Lone Gunman Pilot Episode.
On 4 March 2001, Fox TV televised the pilot episode of the Lone Gunmen, a spin-off of
the popular and highly rated conspiracy series, The X-Files. The episode is a bizarre
instance of life imitating art that exceeds statistical probability and random chance. The
pilot episode of the Lone Gunmen dealt specifically with a faction of the government
engaged in a conspiracy to take over and fly via a remote control accessing the on-board
aircraft electronic flight controls, a fully fuelled 727 into the World Trade Center in New
York City. The pilot episode was filmed in 2000. The aircraft involved from the pilot
episode in the government staged attack similarly originated its flight from Logan
Airport, a more than striking coincidence. Dialogue from the episode also reveals several
striking coincidences that stagger credulity (my comments):
John Byers: What is scenario 12-D? We know it’s a wargame scenario that has to do with
airline counter-terrorism. Why is it important enough to kill for? (Scenario 12-D is
equivalent to Operation Northwoods, multiple live-fly wargames in operation on 9/11)
Bertram Byers: Because it’s no longer a game. (Drill went live)
John: If some terrorist group wants to act out this scenario, why target you for
assassination?
Bertram: It depends on who your terrorists are. (The Shadow-Government)
John: The men who conceived of it in the first place. (Operation Northwoods) You’re
saying our government plans to commit a terrorist act against a domestic airline.
Bertram: There ya go. Indicting the entire government as usual. It’s a faction, a small
faction. (Compartmentalization-Secret government)
John: For what possible gain? (Cui Bono? Who benefits?)
Bertram: The Cold War is over John. But with no clear enemy to stockpile against, the
arms market is flat. But bring down a fully loaded 727 into the middle of New York City
and you’ll find a dozen tin-pot dictators, all over the world just
The Big Lie: 9/11 and the Government’s Complicity in Mass Murder 373
clamoring to take responsibility, and begging to be smart-bombed. (Cui Bono, target
Afghanistan, Iraq, profit motive, exact city, exact building target, exact method of attack.)
John: I can’t believe it. This is about increasing arms sales. (motive)
Number of 9/11 elements identical or sufficiently similar to the broadcast episode:
8
City: New York, NY
War-game scenarios: Operation Northwood’s, 5 military and FEMA drills on 9-11.
Target: World Trade Center, civilian airline
Method: Attack with remote controlled civilian airline
Motive: Arms Sales
Starting point: Boston Logan
Blamed parties: Tin-pot dictators.
Intended Result: False flag retaliatory war, smart bombing, arms sales.
Do you care to figure out the mathematical odds of a TV episode containing eight of the
major unique characteristics of the attacks on 9/11? Is eight unique characteristics
enough for you to begin to cast greater doubt upon the government’s version of the
attacks and who is to blame? Or maybe you might want to believe that Osama bin Laden
and his Al Qaeda minions viewed that episode and a lightbulb went off and he got the
plans rolling, got the financing, got the volunteers and them positioned and trained to fly
with only a few months preparation. You buy that?
